Look what arrived today. The sucessor to the Rat. The cowl would have fit the rat...but the can of peas is a bit too large.

Maybe hard to see but a light grey has been added to the Natucket Fog on the Rat's ventral side. Right LG grey also to simulate its folding into the grey under fuse.

The Rat needs another coat of Wolf Grey...then a lighter shade of grey in the Wolf grey...this is so theraputic!

In my short career at building, I have never enjoyed any process more than painting this bird with a brush. A real hoot!
