Samson:


- Sat down on Friday for a couple of hours and worked on him.
- Cut the entire front box acting as a wheelarch off to replace it with a curved wheelarch, and carved the rear wheelarch to make it curved.
- Added the rear stepladders where the dip in the footplate was at the cab.
- Used some styrene sheets to attempt to flatten out the back of the cab.
- Coated the cab section in filler putty and primed everything.

Paints List:
- Apple Barrel Green Turquoise
- Apple Barrel Turquoise
- Apple Barrel Black
- Apple Barrel Cardinal Crimson
- Apple Barrel Granite Grey
- FolkArt Metallic Pure Gold

- Samson's main body color is a mix of a lot of Green Turquoise, 2-3 drops of Turquoise to give it a blue tint, and 4-5 drops of Black to slightly grey out the paint.
- Everything's painted by hand, the only bits of masking tape used were for the handrail across the boiler, and the black part of the nameplate + the gold.
- He still runs and everything.
