KB7ZPJ's Sawback "Round Toit" Build Thread

[k7zpj]

I painted and built my Sawback over the summer. However, due to the warm summer weather and playing with the Sawback, I never got round to doing the build thread. With some coaxing from freinds who wanted to see how I did the paint job and the cold weather, I decided to finally get "round toit".

The thread will be a progression starting out with painting the frame, getting caught up to where the build is today and moving on to adding the rear bumper and sliders.

Next post to the thread will be "Making the Glare Go Away or Painting the frame OD"
(Not to be confused with but probably related to OCD.)

Can't go wrong with OD, the sawback screams to be military. Nice job on it.
Built one myself.
