Stripes layout on CMA

We've been getting the stripes laid out on CMA so that we can paint the blue on it.  This is a slower time for paint prep, because you have to be "artsy" when doing the stripes or they just don't turn out well.  It takes time and patience...something that none of us seem to have! :)  Anyway, it's all laid out and hopefully we'll get the light blue painted this afternoon.  

 Myself and Timothy getting the stripes on the tail sorted out.  Although you can't really tell that it's me...
 A better shot of the same. 
 The result.  Stripes ready to be masked and painted. 
 Caleb drew out the stripes on the fuselage with the help of our handy brown paper template. 
Masked and ready for paint.  The top stripe is dark blue (Duke blue) and the bottom is light blue (Carolina blue).  An interesting choice of colors...but maybe only for a North Carolina boy like me.  :)
