sanded off the paint as the front had a crack and the clear was bubbling, so went back to the old faithful wudtone, put a coat of azure lagoon on top/sides then went over with dark onyx after I saw Pablo's colour scheme on his IB1. Will sand back a bit more and put another coat on later

Hey, I'm an influence! Hopefully not a bad one. It's a shame you lost your original finish, I was really digging it. Can't wait to see how this turns out though.
Hey Pablo, yes I loved the colours on your IB-1. Was disappointed I lost the southern cross on metallic blue paint look but I'll try that later with more practice and maybe a spray gun system. It was bloody hard work sanding it all off.
I'll sand this down a bit more to get a mainly dark onyx colour on the front. Still got to sand the blue paint off the neck
So, does this count as another build?
Bumma about losing the original design Warren, I was liking that. But I'm sure that whatever you come up with will look as good as all the other guitars you've produced.
Can't wait to see it hanging on the clothes line. lol.
cheers

@ Lawry, its not really another build but started from scratch, it hasn't been entered in GOTM so its sort of another build different colours/finish
@ Robin, I sanded off the front and was planning to do the front the same then the clear started peeling off the sides/back so it was too hard to remove the clear without the blue paint, so I was over solid paint, it had to go. Wasn't a light decision. I'll attempt a southern cross axe in the future when I get a more professional spray paint gun. So many hours and coats went into that axe.
Finally finished the iceman. Finish is azure lagoon with dark onyx over the top. Pretty happy with the look. Now to set it up

Wow that's a bit bit different Warren, but I like it :)

Nice blend of colours Wokka! Would never have thought of it but it looks great!
cheers,
Gav.
I'd forgotten all about this one, Woks. I really like how you've 'dirtied up' the blue. To me it has a really glacial look about it. I'm impressed. Fantastic, man.
cheers everyone, it was an experiment to add dark onyx, I wasn't that happy with the coat of azure so thought what the hell I'll try it out. Yes it is almost like a glacier look, which is very apt being an iceman !
Winner! That's come up really good.
