shark 64 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 (edited) Hi Gents havent been around lately...you know the work thing.. I have a few days off from work so I am working on the Huey a bit. My wife wanted me to repaint the living room and dining room while I was off....excuse me honey buy I have priorities. Time off is for modeling only. I ended up hiring two painters to do the work. The last photo is what I could have been doing instead of the Huey.....no really fun is it??? Heres how it looks today.

crookedmouth Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 My wife wanted me to repaint the living room and dining room while I was off....I ended up hiring two painters to do the work. I genuinely LoL'd at that one! I wish I spent my weekend stripping out the bathroom ready for a refurb. I'll be getting someone in to finish off that job too - not coz I'm lazy - I truly hate home improvement work that involves water connections. I'll even pay for a plumber to remove a radiator for me. Nice to see you still working on the dust-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark 64 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Thanks. Painting in the living room moving slowing....take your time guys the slower you go the more I get done. Working on drybrushing the cowlings. Repainted the transmission (again) I didnot like the silver work I had done. Still adding putty to the tail work and working on painting the hydraulic system ( i think thats what it is) I ll post an update by the end of the week as well as photos of the finished living/dining room.
