Test pier complete

Image
 I've completed my test pier. Added a little india ink weathering and I'm pretty satisfied with it overall. I'll fix one error I made in building the top bracket and will see if I can find a way to simplify construction to make it go quickly. I plan to build the them assembly line style.

Paint progress

 Line pole bracket painting has finally started. I went with Tamiya flat aluminum XF-16. This is the first time I have sprayed Tamiya paint, but I'm impressed as I don't think I've sprayed anything for about six years now. It went on smooth and shot easy through my Badger 200nh airbrush. I'll let it dry, flip the parts over and spray the bottoms and any touch up that I need to do and then finally will attach it to my bridge pier. Making progress.
