    I thought this 135i might be done in a reasonable time, but this little thing seemed huge once I got started working on it. All it contains are big panels that required going over them twice to get them to look acceptable. It had heavy swirling but also lots and lots of random clusters of scratches all over the place. It isn't of course 100% but significantly improved.

    I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to capture a good picture. I know it takes time to get the camera to focus properly on what I want it to, which on some colors is very difficult, but I also think it makes a big difference in the way the thread is presented.
