ok, back in business again! it was off to the races today, lots of stuff to get done. the first coat of paint on the garage mahal mk2 blank kept leaving fingerprints, and there was one run that didn't quite go away, even after sanding. so i used a flat black paint that i had on hand, and repainted. here are pics of the cutting, and with the top coat of sanding sealer. also included, is a pic of the new house of pain sign. sorry, but most of the detail work got washed out in the pic. it is basically a pair of circles, on an ace of spades, with the text, house at the top, and of pain at the bottom (every garage my brother uses is called the house of pain). there is also a young lady in a swimsuit, based on a pinup of the 1940's-50's. very tame by today's standards. the finish on the mdf is several coats of sprayed shellac.
