So she's ready for some paint

Evening gents, 

so not much of an update, because I took your advice and didn't attempt to rework anything,  so these photos won't be really updating you on anything except maybe the rear of the tank which I didn't photograph earlier, but...

The decision actually lead to a couple of good things... first that I spent the entire day doing pretty much nothing, which was super refreshing, also managed to squeeze in a quick bike ride into that, which I didn't have the luxury of in like 2 weeks now because my do-it-all bike's frame snapped 3 weeks ago and I had to send it for a warranty, so right now I'm stuck with my downhill bike which is an absolute pig to pedal on flat ground, let alone uphill... and that is the only thing I can do because all public places including bikeparks are closed, but it still felt good despite the not totally comfortable ride (that was a little unintentional side story) and second... the things I didn't like yesterday, they just don't seem that important now. Maybe I just remembered that this is not gonna be a masterpiece no matter how much work I put into it, and also... how to put it... I guess this is gonna be some deep stuff but I'm just gonna run with it...

So, normally I always try to make the best out of every model, like the best I can do, which often leads to reworking stuff, going over things more than once and spending sometimes ridiculous amounts of time on stuff most people won't ever notice, but it's because it feels nice to look back on a model you finished a year ago, or even longer, and know that yeah, you gave it all you had at the time. Usually the frustrating memories when stuff didn't go as intended vanish with time, so what remains is that good feeling that you did something you can be proud of. But then, and it was back when I was "restoring" that KV-220-2, I did that with very low expectations, and didn't give it everything. Basically I took the route of least resistance in most aspects of that project, and as a result, I remember it as one of the most enjoyable models in a very long time, like I was really having a very good time during the entire process. And if you have good memories, maybe it messes up a little with your perception, so even if the result is not a freaking masterpiece, you're still gonna feel good about it. And I've got that feeling today... it was nice to feel that way. 

So yeah, not really sure what I was trying to say with this, but hey, now I need to finish the video, I got the footage sorted and color corrected, so tomorrow I'll prepare the script, narrate it, and I'd be too optimistic to say that I'll complete the video, so if I'm being real we'll be probably back with another update on this model on Tuesday. 

Hope you had a great weekend!
