I'm not doing too much in the way of "panelbeating" with this machine, I may look for another one in the future to do a full restoration on, this is more just a cosmetic facelift. (Although I did have to re align the pulleys and sharpen the cylinder & bedknife).

Before I had done anything to it:

Catcher logo half done:

Chain cover half done:

First coat of green on the body, and a coat of red on the cylinder (I'm painting the grass deflector too, hence it missing):

Catcher nearly done, one more coat of red and white, plus the gold trim to go:

These photos are some additions to the catcher that I decided to put on myself, obviously not part of the original design but I thought it might look cool. I have done a MODEL 33 in the same way as the first two pics on the front of it, above and below the original SB logo, although I haven't got a decent pic of it yet. There will be some touch ups I'll need to do after it's all finished completely also.

Half finished:

Again half finished:

Halfway through the gold trim, just the circle around the SB left:

A few photos of the finished restoration/paint job. When I make the file sizes smaller I'll upload the whole lot into the photo gallery.
