got her all painted and stickerd up painted the inside and the outside it needed it i know its going to get scrached up but I put like 5 coats of clear on top of the paint and decals we will see how long it lasts but it should hold up and it will look good having a couple of battle wound scratches

ya, this whole project took me about 5 hours and I did it all with some scissors, a dremmel tool, some glue and good ol eye ball mesuarments. this was my first attempt and it was extreamly cheap and easy so to all other noobs like me dont be scared to attempt a project like this thanks for looking "thumbsup"

Kinda gives me some confidence to try my own. Looks simple enough. I'm sure there's a lot of room for error still.
