  1. You've got some intriguing stuff going on in your garage. SR
  2. And it's much harder to get the swan out of the beer glass. SR
  3. Thanks muchly Mike! Black lacquer is easy, and makes a classy burst. SR
  4. Thanks. And no, my midges are more party animals. They love taking swan dives into my beer glass, when I'm unwinding on the back patio. SR
  5. But Mayflies add a little touch of elegance. My bugs are basically midges. Small little heavy footed bastards. SR
  6. Lacquer spraying is done. There are several sets of bug's feet embedded in it, should add some mojo! SR
  7. You've got some good parts there, now you just need to get some of the noisy ones too. SR
  8. Those are fun! The former is a very descriptive way of saying we're doing things the hard way, at least to this English speaker. The latter creates more pleasant mental imagery, but (no pun intended) I can see how it could equate to "flying by the seat of the pants" which is pretty much "making it up as we go". Comparing expressions and idioms by language could make for an entertaining evening around a fire, if a couple of adult beverages were tossed into the mix. SR
  9. Very kind of you to say so, Sir Hamfist. Thank you very much! SR
  10. Thanks Henri! That is sunlight, and yes down in south Texas we do have sunlight at this time of year! Those last shots were taken right about 4:00 in the afternoon, and sunset is currently 6:20pm in Houston. I have a difficult imagining the low light-no light long winters you have in your corner of the planet. It's a good thing we're adaptable creatures. SR
  11. Thanks, you guys. The burst is subtle and transparent, and the figure is a bit in your face. I like the way it catches the light and glows. SR
  12. Thank you kind sir. I don't think I've ever had a bookmatched top where the two halves have had such distinctly different angled of reflection. Viewed at some angles the two halves look nearly like mirror images of each other. And from other angles, the look like negative images of each other, SR
  13. And after the first few coats of clear, we get this. SR
  14. Finally got a weekend that was both warm enough and dry enough to do some spraying. First a green tint coat. Then a black burst. And a black burst on the back as well. SR
