Got a little bit more done. The center of the motorcycle is now very busy with parts, clear tubing, and black tubing. Painting the parts, and then creating a sub-assembly, somewhat limits the danger of having big hands constantly moving around and through small, delicate parts. I have discovered that this new DAK paint from Tamiya brush-paints smoothly with no brush marks. This has come in handy several times.
