I'm not quite done with this tunnel gun door, as I still have some detail painting to do (door handles, lock, etc.), some sealing of the edges of the Plexiglas and the frame, and so on, but after I got to the point I'm at now, I had this huge sensation of finally getting something accomplished.

Nothing much to really update here, I just painted the structure and installed the Plexiglas (Lexan), but here are the pictures anyway...

I know, I know, the green is hideous! However, that is what Consolidated chose to put on the inside when they put this thing together. I'll get back to work now and quit walking around with a grin like Brad hanging off of the ramp of a C-17.
