Default Progress on the 17 pounder...

Sandblasted, primed, and painted, I hope we got the colour right. Bronze Green? Tony looking pretty happy to get this out of the way before the snow arrives. Also see pics of our Prairie Command group at my place for a fall get together, and a beautiful touch and go Trojon?...this afternoon unexpectedly. Keep those 17 pounder pieces coming my way,if you have them. LOL...Cheers Rob
