Welcome to the next part of this build report. I left you last time (or should I say long, long ago...) with the images of the primed body, floor and roll cage, showing that there was some work to do to get everything ready for some color. In this update I will show you how far I got with these parts. I'll start with the body and floor. Sanding everything back turned out to be quite a bit of work. And of course there were several areas still in need of attention. Especially around the wheel arches there was a lot of additional work left. Luckily, with the car in tarmac setup, there's not much room left to see the remaining rough spots that have survived the clean up process... Which leads me to the conclusion that I could have cut some corners in this particular area by only cleaning up the most visible sections. It's a good lesson to check beforehand what is actually visible when the car is built together. I'll definitely be cutting some corners for the other two ...

That's why this short "story" instead of the next installment of one of my many ongoing projects. As I've previously mentioned I own an Anycubic Photon 3D printer. So far so good. I might previously also have mentioned that my housekeeping skills might be good (enough), but my motivation to execute these skills isn't always present, so to say... Why might that be important, you might ask? Well, since making my last print I hadn't emptied the resin vat of the printer. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? On Facebook there are more than enough users stating that it is no problem to leave the resin in the vat for a prolonged period of time. You only need to gently stir/mix the contents before starting your next print. So again, so far so good. Until you drop your printer (...), onto your...
