Primer complaining

So it's been a few weeks, had trips to OK and AZ over the past few weeks, so had nothing to talk about.

No pictures, they would be awful.

Let me just say I hate primer. I know I might have mentioned it in previous posts. Primer shows every little defect.

Basically I rushed home from work to primer the legs today. Have to, with it being 45 degrees outside and dark 30 minutes after I get home.

I painted the legs, and need some serious filler work around the edges where the sintra meets the black. Gotta make it look like it's one piece, and that's kinda tough sometimes. Now there's primer all over them that's got to be sanded too...

Spent most of the evening making the battery boxes. They are pretty, except there's nothing on the tops and bottoms. I decided to try using 2 liter plastic for them, since it's flexible and once sanded, should be paintable. Now that I'm to the point of using that, I'm considering going to buy some "beware of dog" or "for sale" signs made of sintra.

Brighter side, I ordered some more stuff from Powerwerx. They are making me a special battery cable to put 2 batteries in parallel, so I don't have to. also ordered some red/black 16 gauge wire since the 12 gauge that came with the starter kit doesn't really fit either speed controller.

I've also ordered a VMusic2, from Australia, and a PICAXE18 and board from the UK, so I can figure out how to make him talk...

also been pondering what I'm going to mount all this stuff on, since someone posted their new Com-8 mount board pics and made me wonder.

I could say more, but that's enough, since I need SLEEP now :)
