The cat is an original Austin, and a Mothers day present many years ago, it got dropped when we moved but as I could not bring myself to throw it away this is how it has looked :(

Now, and yes it could have been better if I had had proper filler etc but not to bad for a first attempt :yesnod:

Sanded and Primed

To be fair TB told me which paint would sort out the units, had to sand them down 3 times though ..
The spraying I remember you lot (see I do listen) saying, sand prime, sand prime, light coats and build up, and don't overload or rush, so thats what I did :yesnod:
