Re: Cleveland Welding for 9yr olds christmas gift PAINT ~12-20~

Hey Skipton,
The paint and striping turned out great! I can really see the color scheme now
The chain guard looks like the front end of the train 8)
Can't wait to see the assembly
 
Re: Cleveland Welding for 9yr olds christmas gift PAINT ~12-20~

He is gonna flip!

Looks great buddy. I love builds for our kids, we put more detail and care in them than anything we'd build for ourselves.

Can't wait to see a pic of his reaction!

Cheers,
Dr. T

I'm amazed at what a difference the black stripe makes really makes the red pop!

So true, I have never tried a two color paint scheme before.

This has been a very fun build for me.

If Garret likes it half has much as I have building it. I will be VERY HAPPY!

Hope to have some assembly pics up sometime on Thursday

THANKS!

Thanks on all accounts Uncle Stretch.

After I get the boys to bed I will burn some midnight oil to get this thing put together.
