Tank is fine. Just never ever rotate your turret while spraying dull coat, especially on a Pershing where the engine grates are rather large.

Well maybe you found a way to show actual damage when receiving a hit, a little CO2 cartidge filled with dull coat, add a spark and whoosh!

Eye brows will grow back in about two months.

A burned moustache smells funny.

Don't ask me how I know.

LOL I certainly hope your insurance is paid up and you have a nice health plan too. At this rate you'll need both while you get stand up comedian of the year too!

Don, you certainly know how to make people laugh, I can just imagine the look of terror on your face as your eyebrows went up in smoke, sorry but this is the funniest thing I have read since your last mishap, note to ones self absolutely no electrics to be turned on during painting

I was a welder in a prior occupation and yes, eyebrows do grow back as well as mustaches. Yes I have to agree that burnt mustaches do smell funny for a while until you get used to it.
