Vacation

Greetings friends, from not so sunny southern California! I will be out of my "office" for a few days for our school's annual band trip to the Forum Festival and Disneyland. While I may be away, I made sure to work doubly hard before we departed this morning. I also will hopefully accomplish some research tonight, but anyone who's been on the band trip knows that we may be up all night, but we rarely accomplish anything.

So, the past two days have been spent prepping and actually painting some of my model. You can see in the new tab, Photo Gallery - Painting, that I have been using a lot blue tape. (Unlike the the over-sized government red tape that all engineers have to go through.) Taping all the roads takes a few hours because I want to make sure that the edge of the tape aligns perfectly with the lines of the roads. Once I have checked, re-checked, and pressed all the tape down to make sure it is secure, I can paint. Painting is actually pretty easy when the time comes. All I do is apply the paint between the tape, then pull it off. I was quite surprised at how fine the lines came out.

When I return from my Happiest Place On Earth excursion, I will paint the plots of land between roads. Then, all I have to do is paint the buildings, and finish my ppt.

Stay tuned to see how the finishing touches get added.
