| This is the "Before" picture prior to me painting the small gap between stitches and giving it an overall glossy finish. It's just a bit of attention to the details. |

| Did two things: A) filled in the small gaps between the stitches by using a very fine, pointed paint brush with olive drab, and then B) gave the whole thing a coat of glossy clear. I chose the glossy coat as I would like the model to look "factory fresh." |

| This is where I am now. I dreaded this stage from the very beginning of the build. Don't know why, just "one of those things" I guess. There really isn't much in the way of photographs or drawings to truly use as a good reference. Pardon the pun, but at this stage, I'm going to "wing it." |
