good morning...

the wheels were glued to small nails with epoxy cement before painting...the two bases are complete but not trimmed to length yet...that's the coach window in the foreground...most of the other parts are in various stages of primer and paint...

Howard, this project is a marvel! I don't know how you do it, especially when you've been so busy!

You're an inspiration!
