I HAVE FINALLY STARTED TO APPLY THE PAINT TO GRIM, BLACK BASE COAT, RED GLITTER IN LACQUER, AND THREE COATS OF CLEAR LACQUER OVER THE TOP. THEN IT,S GOT TO BE FLATTED BACK AND A FEW FURTHER COATS OF LACQUER OVER THE TOP AGAIN. AND FINALLY FLATTED BACK AGAIN AND A FEW FINAL COATS OF CLEAR LACQUER, THEN IT CAN BE FINE FLATTED BACK AND A GOOD POLISH AND BUFF. I,M GOING TO BE KNACKERED BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL ALL BE WORTH IT. THESE FIRST PICS ARE AS IT IS NOW, WITH THE FIRST COATS ON. GRIM SHOULD BE OUT AND READY FOR ACTION ( AFTER FITTING A NEW TIMMING COVER ) SOMETIME IN JULY................
