Hello Tony!
Thanks for your nice words!

The cardmodels comes preprinted.
Some delivers white models for the builder to color as an option.
The print is usually very good, and a lot of models comes weathered as well.
The only paint required are the edgepainting to cover the white edges here and there.
I usually paint too much.....and beeing colorblind it's not easy to mix any color.So I have my colorstore to scan the colors I want,and make me some waterbased color that matches

Very nice Johnny, and you should be pleased with the wheels, they have come out just fine (you have more patience than i), rolling 0.8mm spokes sounds like a punishment to me.
