Just a light initial clear applied.No doe for beauty just to give foundation for now.
|
42
This better highlights the challenges of the first coat.Mainly her cracking.
|
43
After a few days cure I will sand and begin the repaints.
|

Refinishing and rebuild of the display panel is next.

Ready to begin dealing with the nightmare BR cab.
|
54
Badly dug in at the legs.
|
55
On both sides and all four corners.
|

Delaminating.

Clamping and gluing what I can save.

Sanded the first clear.

72
Pits and graining are improving.More repairs are needed.
|

|
74
Grain is really bad on this side.Probably worse than the last one I did.
|
75
Head shows major graining even after sanding the first clear.
|
76
Better close up.It would be like trying to bury the scales on an alligator without losing the details or changing the color
|
77
Once I get it smooth I will have to repaint almost every detail to get rid of the cracks that are a result of the graining.
|
78
Ready to clear for the second time.I only truly cleaned the lettering to keep it sharp.No point in doing the black area be
