i could have it done probably about the same day as i get it (airport that is) and send it out in a day or so, we just got 2 ft of snow out here so might slow it down by a day, post office is far. the paint isnt that thick at all. for the airport i would just use acrylic to make it space worthy and functional. i have a pretty good idea for the big sub. space-age and metal looking for some sort of artifact.
Just learned that my wife and daughter need to fly out to Phoenix in a couple of weeks to scope out apartments. Daughter will be transferring to the University of Arizona in the fall.
This means I have no excess funds to devote to frivolous but beautifully painted computer accessories at the moment.
