    Fantastic that you are putting a smoke pod on - a nice touch to bring more accuracy - and I agree that red looks spot on!

    Looking really good now! And getting close to done - beautiful stuff

    Allan, I hope you don't mind, but I have a question - how are you photographing your build? There is a warm colour cast in some of your photos - and it is probably easily fixed - if you want it to be.

    Here is that last photo again - colour corrected (a quick job). Literally a couple of clicks in photoshop but it can be fixed 'in camera'. It may be a question of the lights that were on when it was taken. What being able to fix this so quickly tells me is that the capture itself is good - sharp (and well composed).

    Of course, feel free to ignore this suggestion!

    Heck of a difference. One perfect the other with a warmed up hue. What are you using to take the photos Allan?

    The warmer pic has a more accurate paint color, I am using a Nikon B700 !
