Having never built anything like this before, I am glad I did a couple things . One , I spent alot of time reading and researching how to build and fiberglass. Two, being a person who has made multiple mistakes through out my life, I come equipped more or less, to spend endless hours sanding out mistakes. Well, I have spent at least 8 or 9 hours just sanding. I have found out that fiberglassing and making it look good is an art. But you don't have forever to work with it. Once it starts drying that's it. Here are some pictures of my progress thus far. I am out of resin, so I am waiting on an order to arrive before I can go much further.
Name- I am thinking about naming it "Vapor." Why? Because life is like a vapor. We are today, but gone tomorrow. Moments in life are precious and unless they are written down or passed on someway, the fade away like the morning midst. Enough of that, just building the thing has been an experience and being able to use it will be special.
Color- I have narrowed it down to John Deere green and yellow, or Fire engine red and creme.

"vapor"/ You have been smelling to much of the funny stuff!!
Color? You mean "slime green and yeller?" Barn red and snot cremey is a good match. Cremey about the shade of IBC cream soda!!
Friends up to shoot praire dogs. They are SERIOUS shooters. 310 KIA.! Ranchers happy.
Rehab starts today!@#$%^&
Later,
That's the color I'm talking about. What's this about rehab? Who and what?
Hae you had a chance to shoot any of the dogs? It makes me wish I was there, I really like doing that sort of thing.
I used their gun and shot 4 in a row at about 150 yds. It's no fun by yourself, shooting with friends is agood deal.They had table that swiveled ,16 power scope and binocs with rangefinders-reall sort of cheating!ha! But very effective.
Sharon had surgery Thurs. Took the rod out of her arm and rotator cuff repair.
Later,
Sounds like you and Sharon are in for fun with the rehab.But I really hope this is the end of y'alls health probelms for awhile.
Yep! shooting with friends is the way to go. I do like the idea of binocs with rangefinders. Sure of your distance that way. But where's the skill. Part of the fun for me is trying to figure out just how far they really are.
I went looking at wally world for paint. They didn't really have the red I was looking for. As for the cream, they came close. Well, I am a ways away from painting. I am waiting on some more epoxy resin, so really can't do anything on this project.
Things are starting to hot here and summer is almost here. Mosquitos, grass growing, and red snow cones. I can't hardly wait!
Camp Grammy PawPaw is going as we speak!!! Old days as Camp Marshall very helpful!!!
