          Looks great! Looks like a little body work and some clear, slap on the hardware, and throw it in the water and see what 3 cell packs can do for this little guy!!!

              I believe that it intergloss red, its from house of kolor. I can't remember what I bought. It looks pretty good, just needs some more sanding and some details, then clear. I can't wait to see it in person.

                The Manx has been sitting dormant, but I think I finally have my motivation back. I hope to see it float soon.

                    Well no so mirror but very glossy here is a great angle of the boat and the Color Is "FIRE RED" from House of color Personally I prefer solid colors as they provide the option of color sanding before applying the top coat in this case an epoxy brushed on so the paint will be very hard to chip.

                        hey dad, looks good, hows the finish on the steps and the transom? looked like I didn't sand too good by the transom by the antenna, does it look ok? I like the color a lot, now I need to get some vinyl cut for details and decals.

                          around the antenna is a bit funky and some areas on top are as well, the sides turned out pretty good and so did the steps and the transom looks ok too but I still have enough paint to re shoot the top (which needs to look the best) so I am considering doing that here soon (not today)

                            ok, that sounds cool. I agree the top needs to look the best. I am also considering making new strut brackets that are a bit more stout, those ones I have now are a little bit weak, they flex some.

                            So any progress on your twin terror?

                              I think I am going to scuff the top surfaces real soon just to get her looking extra good for our Army Clad buddy (son in my case) then put it back together and havit waiting for him real soon.
