Cheers Grubsta (and others, sorry been a bit slack responding lately)
Bit more progress today. I got the first coats of the satin clear on. Had a bit of trouble with the nozzle clogging so its a bit rough. Will do to seal it up, I'll give it a block back and a finishing coat later. As always it's shown up a few spots I should have worked a bit harder on and a couple of marks from all the mocking up and kicking around in the shed. Overall I'm pretty happy though. I think with a finishing coat and all the embellishments on it should look good. It's supposed to be a bit 'used' looking anyway.
The flame popping on the neck is pretty spectacular. (excuse the blur- its so bright outside I can't see the phone screen)
