I finished up the dimpling on the skins. Lots of little holes...the final step will be to fill them in.
I have a few more steps before I can actually begin assembly. I also will be priming some (not all) parts. In particular, I'm planning to prime the end of the tailcone and some of the mating surfaces.
Also, the third photo shows some "plasti dip" I applied to some of my hand tools (including my cleco pliers. I found the stuff at Lowe's and thought I'd give it a shot.
