I'll never complain about the size of anything I detail ever again*.
A few things about this jump out at me;
First and foremost; his matte silver lenses are f***ing awesome. I want some!
I don't understand why,
a) They were working out in the sun, surely a hanger would be better... surely?!
2) Why detail it before painting bits? This goes against everything I know about detailing more than reaching for the microfibre cutting pads before anything else.
c) How any of them could possibly face turning up to day 3.
Impressive job, I certainly don't envy any one of them doing it though. Was a good video too, I enjoyed that.
*This is a lie. A barefaced, unashamed, complete, utter and total lie.
I also listen to the AMMO podcasts and they did one on this recently. The reason they detailed it before painting is quite simple. The museum had planned to paint it, so the curators told them there was no point detailing it as it needed fresh paint. They (detailers) asked if they could do it anyway, so as the museum planned to paint it, there was nothing to lose. When they finished I believe the museum put the paint job on hold as they were so impressed by the result
Love the small section (I think it was Kevin Brown) was doing, a little 2x2 but you could see the oxidisation coming off in literally one pass and looking a fantastic baby blue underneath.
I think they did it outside as most of the the museum is outside and the hangars are full of dozens of planes. It must have been mentally hot out there! I'd have been indoors washing pads
I need something that big to learn on!!!!
