I did a little reorganization of my work area. Main build Bench - most of my tools are in the small drawer units. Home-made paint booth - racks on top are my acrylics...compressor hides in the left-back, top drawer of right unit holds my airbrushes when not in use. Ducting from the 195cfm fan...

Flush cutting nippers - better at getting parts off of sprues without damage...still stay a little away. Scalpel handles with #11 (pointy tip) and #12b (curved with sharp edge on inside) blades for detailed cutting/shaving. 2cc Hypodermic with 30ga needles - when you want really precise glue...

We're having a heat-wave in Minnesota - might get the boat out a few more times before garaging it.

Finished this up - at least to where I want the first iteration to be...learning curve and all that. There's errors, there's issues...but I did re-learn some skills doing this...so next time it'll come out much better. The Matchboxes underneath are what's left of my collection that once...

Ya - I wouldn't use Sunnyside's regular (yellow can), but the Green Envy doesn't seem as hot.

I keep hearing about it - but being on a budget, I just keep using my 'same-old, same-old'. Thins enamel, lacquer and acrylic paint, cleans my airbushes, even strips enamel, lacquer or acrylic paint from models. At $22 for a gallon from my local Menards, it's very budget friendly too.

Base color - Model Master Flat Gull Gray (I've still got 50 bottles of MM sitting around) Engine Grills - MM Aluminum Upper and Lower hatches outlined in MM Gloss Black Bridge Sensor and Wing Lasers in MM Gold. Still some detail painting to do before gloss coat and decals.

About the only rule I follow is base color first...everything else on top in whatever order turns your crank.
