Tamiya Testarossa Priming 5/23/15

Now that school is done, hopefully I'll have some free time, other than work. Today I primed some more parts.

The muffler had 2 sink marks that were filled with Testor's Putty, which still showed up messy after sanding and a coat of primer. I had to sand the spots down even more and then added another coat.

 Valves covers were lightly primed so no detail will be lost.
Shifter broke during process of cutting excess plastic.
 Made a new one from a needle and bent it to the appropriate angle. Spent a couple hours carefully sanding down the knob since it was a little too big.
Finally made a panel scribe tool from an old mechanical pencil and a sewing needle.
