Well, as I said in yesterday's post, I'd been waiting for a > 60°F day in order to paint, but it's not going to happen, so I went ahead and put coats #1 and #2 of the second color onto Callisto. I don't have any pictures to put up yet, but it came out "ok". The paint itself is completely awesome, just like the first color. Still getting some odd pitting and imperfections but overall she's looking awesome! I'm pretty happy.

Also put a final coat of red on Der Red Max's body, and the first coat of black on the nose cone. The nose cone is probably a total loss. It seems the Testor's gloss black I bought is not at all compatible with the primer I used and, well, heh, they went to war, with DRM's nose cone as a battlefield. I may be able to remove all the paint, back to the bare plastic, and start over, but it'd probably be easier to buy a new nose cone and start over that way. Or just buy a whole new DRM kit and build again. The paint job on the body is pretty terrible too. Ah well. At least it's a cheap low-power rocket. ;)

Anyway. Callisto is nearly paint-complete. Will just need to do the graphics now!
