Update: It's time for the doors! (Only working on the left side at the moment, one side at a time.) First layer putty applied. Sand it down. Need more putty. Now that waiting for the putty to dry, time to get some work on the headlights. Both headlight buckets are made, but still need some detailing. |

| Thanks Liighthead! Update: Continue working on the Tundra from where I left off yesterday. Sand down the second layer of putty. Seems to be smooth enough, but just to make sure, I sharpied the extension section, then sand it off, so I'll know where I need to apply more putty. Then applied another layer of putty. Repeated this steps a few time, spending a good few hours on applying putty and sanding it off, and this is how it came out. Then I sand down the roof again and applied another layer of putty. |

Update: Nothing much got done today, it's been a long busy day. Have the roof smoothed out, and starting to touching up the body lines. Now that the left side rear door is almost done, time to get to work on the right side. Here's a little bonus. |

Amazing work. I wish I had the patience and skill to do something like this. I'd love an RC version of my Tundra.
