    JB's MM-1Q.

    Got the nod from the minister of finance, so have ordered up a MM-1Q kit. I'll be doing a translucent finish to highlight the quilt pattern. Probably something close to a current MM colour. Already getting itchy to get started

    Your finance minister lives in a cubby house?
    That gives me an idea.

    cheers, Mark.

    So it arrived yesterday, was almost to nervous to open the box. At this stage I have no plans for upgrades but that can be done down the track as the funds come in. I am going to try and pay tribute to the current MM Axis that is a "Trans gold" colour. So I have ordered some coolongatta gold from DB for the front and am going to use Japan black on the back and sides. The neck will be au natural in TO and the headstock face to match the body.Click image for larger version.

    Question 1. to bring out the quilt is it best to fill with a dark colour then sand off, or will the natural quilt just come through with the colour
