Flight Log - 2015-05-17 - Rick Barnes's EPM-010

Stock build.  Rather than t' standard red livery shown on t' face card, ya bilge rat, I substituted an emerald green that almost has an anodized look.  Duplicolor makes it; its their "Metalcast" line.  T' paintin' is a 3-step process: a silver metallic basecoat is applied, a translucent color coat is applied, and then it looks best if clearcoated after.  This gives t' finish a real "deep" metallic look, very trick.  I've used this in several colors on various bicycle builds.  T' kit's roll pattern decals are white and clear (as opposed t' white and red), so that allows t' green t' show through.  T' white is opaque enough t' nay be significantly tinted by t' paint underneath.  T' rocket was just finished (mid November), ya bilge rat, so it'll unfortunately be a long winter before I can fly it...
