Gideon has decals!
Isn't he so handsome?
I love how clean the decals are. I wish there were some way to get them on the bed flat, so that there wasn't that little bit of a rise up from the bed of the machine, but it's really not noticeable at all.
Unfortunately, pollen or something buggered up the clear coat, so I had to sand that down. Going to try and get another clear coat on, I'm just praying I haven't completely buggered things up forever.

Thanks! Unfortunately those pictures are from before the clear coat; right now he looks pretty pitiful with his sanded bits. I'm just crossing my fingers that it all evens out once I put another clear coat on, other wise I'm in big trouble.

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, I never think about pollen because I'm not allergic, but my boyfriend is. I should have known better when he was sniffling and sneezing all weekend. I was painting in the late afternoon, so I think what I'll do is try to paint him early Wednesday morning before I go to work; the rain will have washed all the pollen away, and it'll be too early for it to get going again. But I'm sure it's for the best; I really wanted to make sure he got multiple coats of everything so that he really shone.
