Painting 1/4 scale Chessie Diesel Locomotive Day 2



chessiepaint2, originally uploaded by Don Campbell Models.

Train Paint- Today I painted the fuel tank parts and the air tanks and a couple dozen small bolt on parts. Tomorrow I will be back bainting more of the many blue parts. Todays picture shows the blue, orange/red stripe and the yellow colors . You can also see the Chessie decal on the front nose that is blue. It is going to take over a gallon of blue paint alone.
SUPERBOWL CHAMPS ARE THE GREENBAY PACKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first half of the game went well for me,
Deb and I were happy high fiving each other every good pass and every first down and every touchdown . We were enjoying munching on some grindings and all was hunky dory . We enjoyed the commercials and were laughing enjoying those too and we even forced ourselves to watch the halftime show because the Packers were in complete control (:>) We even give a couple hugs and smooches to each other .
Well, all that was about to change ! The third quarter started and everything went down the TOILET !! and I mean EVERYTHING , NOTHING was working for the Packers in the offense BUT thank goodness the defense held the Steelers back.
I was stomping on my cheesehead and I even took Deb’s cheesehead and put it in the microwave oven and it melted and ran out all over the floor . Then I took the scissors and cut up my Packers shirt and hat , then I ran outside and yelled as loud as I could !! ( I HATE THE GREENBAY PACKERS ) . Then I grabbed the sledge hammer and knocked several holes in the wall in the garage . By then I knew I was calming down and feeling better. By the time I had worked through the third quarter nightmare I saw they were starting to get it together a little bit again. Deb hurried and got some duct tape and taped up my cheesehead hat and we scooped up Deb’s yellow puddle of plastic from her cheese hat and we tied it on her head.
I’m sure we looked pitiful as we wiped the tears from our eyes but we were back as Packer Fans again . And what great memories we made in the third quarter . We will always remember the Packers winning this superbowl !!, ha,ha,ha,ha,ha.
Have a great Monday !!
