it helps the judges immensely if you do that.
Here are some more photos of the SG build.
That finish looks glorious. Congrats
G’day David. I bought the DR Neons through eBay. It took a week for it to get delivered and it was around $15 delivered.Quote:

I love how it turned out, it's exactly what i was hoping for. Next time ill have to try a kit that I'll want to colour a little.

It took a little over a month to finish thanks to the fuming process and how smooth I wanted everything to be from sanding but it was well worth the wait. Thanks for having options for lefties.
Comp closed - new one soon!
Wow! that looks amazing. I'd never heard of ammonia fuming before. I think I might try this myself. What concentration of ammonia did you use and how long did you fume it?Quote:
