Finishing up soon.

Here's an update as to what's left.

Finishing the Viper – Paint and Decals

The final processes have begun. To achieve any kind of reasonable finish on this massive warbird, I have to learn a new skill. I’ve used bog, (bondo) before on smaller projects, but this is a…

Full scale MkII Colonial Viper – F I N I S H E D

All the touch-ups and polish now.

That is amazing! After all these years, you are 1 step closer to completion!

I have made a decision, that I will NOT be posting WIP photos of the Viper trailer build.

I have already had too many keyboard warriors and, "experts" mouthing off. I have good help and guidance from people in the industry, so I'm fine.

This means the Viper group is going to be pretty quiet for some time and honestly, I need the break.
I might even be able to head out bush a bit more.

Rest assured that as the money comes in over the next few months, I will be cutting, drilling, bending and welding like a crazy man at every opportunity.

Happy new year and may 2024 fill your buckets.

Baz out.

I saw this and didn't notice the date on the first page for a minute so I thought "This will be pretty cool to watch the process of the construction over time- WHAT" ("WHAT" when I saw the 29 PAGES OF PROGRESS)

This project is absolutely insane man, you should be very proud of it.
Best of luck with the trailer, we'll all be waiting to see what you make of it!

 

[Sean Anwalt]

I'm sorry internet people and keyboard warriors are poking their noses at you.

Keep going, and If I ever make it to Australia I'll come see your trailer!
