That "Krylon paint," if you don't mind my asking, is that just the basic spray can paint like you get from wall marts" or do you get some other type and mix and airbrush it?<br />I built a Civil War Limber and the limber chests had copper sheeting applied to the lids to shed sparks in action. I could not find any paint that looked correct and finally got some peel and stick copper hobby foil and that worked just great. It happened to come out just right, for my purposes anyway. It is nothing like the polished finish you are achieving but then, it was an entirely different finish matter. Mine is just copper sheeting on a chest lid and not a polished tank. Your finish would look all wrong on my vehicle. They posted pics of mine elsewhere on here. Remember, it will be much rougher looking than your carefully tended machine. (That would have been any fireman's 'baby'!) The painted surfaces on my gun and attendant vehicles was roughly mixed and applied by the crews with whatever was at hand and as a veteran I well know how such paint jobs look when finished.<br />Thanks again for sharing your progress!<br />Jim (on my wife's acct.)Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17539801714574271227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2416993292442304252.post-34251793366021021162013-07-05T17:30:14.651-07:002013-07-05T17:30:14.651-07:00Excellent detail and the craftsmanship and care pu...Excellent detail and the craftsmanship and care put into this are readily apparent.

I can't seem to access another (mine own) account for posting.<br />I appreciate your posting this up. It's exciting to have my efforts recognized.<br />As a matter of fact, I have just redone the prolonge and it is considerably improved. I also moved the elevating screw and upper prolonge hook further up the trail. That is more accurate for this gun.<br />I also provided some information of particular connection to certain of these models on their respective pages on the Hobby web site. Among them are things like altering the muzzle and opening the bore to a more correct appearance.<br />I may bring those comments here for one overall picture of what was done, if that would be welcome. <br />One more note- The placard on the inside of the limber lid started out as a correct and accurate copy. But, my copier would not reproduce it accurately that far reduced. That explains the apparent gibberish it appears at under close scrutiny.<br />Finally, I am considering adding a touch hole protector as a final touch.<br />I'll provide pics of the final touches in a little while.<br />Thanks again.<br />Jim :)<br />That's all for now.
