I wouldn't have known even where to begin on that monster.. Excellent job there! Just out of curiosity... Exactly how many pads did you guys go through on that one? over 100?

Re: Six days of polishing "the generals b25"

Awsome work Joe! That's a very special accomplishment that should go high up on your resume!!!

Can you list the names of all the people in the above picture that helped you with the project? It's always nice seeing the faces behind the screen names/names.

Re: Six days of polishing "the generals b25"

The scope of this job is just incredible !!, to administrate the logistics of the people let alone getting the work done..... and getting someone to pay that bill.


I remember the post asking for help on this job great save. Also the level of skill to polish metal with wool pads is high otherwise the holograms would be really bad and to finish down takes forever.................................. one of the hardest correction jobs you guys will ever see.

Re: Six days of polishing "the generals b25"

I woulnt think you would be able to see a noticble difference after polishing but you really did bring out its natural high shine. Excellent work and im glad I dont have to pick up the bill on that one.!

Re: Six days of polishing "the generals b25"

Joe congrats to you and your team, quite an accomplishment.

That B25 looks better then that chrome space ship in StarWars now....

Very nice work, wish I could have been a part but had obligations to my Houston clients that week.

Josh
