Yes, prior generations of my family include dairy farmers, why do you ask?
The majority of my recent hobby time was spent fiddling around with new acquisitions, and adding caution stripes to the ramps/doors of the container. The latter required about 3 coats each per yellow stripe! Unfortunately, once I decided it was too much of a bother, I was too far along to want to paint back over them. Oh well, a bit of leadbelcher dry brushed over them to show wear and tear and the doors are done...on one side at least.

Other than that, the roof is glued in place (sorry
Monkey), and after blue-taping off the open areas, the exterior is now primed and ready to be painted.
About that though...I've been asked if I'd be interested in doing a 30k commission of painting 30
Salamanders. Assuming the buyer agrees to my price (determined by consulting a
commision painting buddy of mine, and shopping around online for the approximate costs of others who do that), I could make a tidy sum. However I'm worried that I'd paint nothing but Salamanders for the next three months and find that I hate doing so about 5-10 models in.
Dunno...might be worth trying just once I suppose. Maybe.
