For a couple of months I have been working on a globe for my Air Station. Here are a few pictures as I went along.

And the finished product. I still need another coat of paint inside the globe as it shows the thin spots when lit but I will wait for awhile and let this coat cure. This is the second time a have had to paint inside the glass and I do not want to start from scratch again.

So that's what an original looks like. Thanks for sharing Ron. As soon as I get my financial adviser (Wife) to give me some funds a check will be headed your way for the cast iron access door for the base.
