I've got a stack of guitar bodies that I got for a song and since I had a small snag with my RC-1, I started this. In every painters career there comes a time to put a Union Jack on something, ,mine will be a strat body. These pictures are after wood prep. I sealed the wood with PU clear, then I masked, drew the rippled flag and cut it out. I use airbrush paint, it works well and it's acrylic. I didn't show it in the pictures, I left the sides of the body natural wood.

I liked the simple stencil look but, not special at all. I didn't want complicated, just old looking, I was going to give it shreds on the outside but, liked what I was seeing and just aged it. Final picture is what I'm going for with yellow maple neck.

very nice work, well done

Great work Johnny. I'm really a fan of Union Jack guitars and you've done an amazing job with yours. Outstanding. Can you post the finished guitar when it's assembled?
Cheers,
Gav.

That's very cool indeed.
I particularly like the flag being "rippled" which I reckon gives the body a look of real fluidity.
Must get my AB skills up to your level one day soon.
Do you use Createx acrylics in your airbrush?
