The last topcoats of base white are done, I will be starting the masking of the black striping (which was used as a reference to see the roll of the rocket in flight). I am going to use a brush to apply the black, as it lays quite nice, and there still is too much area to use an airbrush effectively. I should have it all done by tomorrow eve, (obviously, humidity, weather, and pure old research kept me from making this deadline) and then it's decals, clearcoat, and then the fine detail painting of the silver areas of the CSM (Command/Service Module).  It will finally start looking like the real thing!

Monday the 20th of July was the anniversary of Apollo 11, so my timeline is a bit off, but having started in March, I thought it was a good time to shoot for, but my vaca was plenty of time to get some good work in.
