I couldn't go past one of these kits in Dec for my birthday. I've been working on it since every now and again.

Started with body contouring and headstock shaping. Once I got the contours right. Lots and lots of sanding!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bb07e5edcb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...713fbacf56.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...205a58fd07.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bf09a37be8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...34cfc54663.jpg

In my sanding travels I noticed that the two piece body was curved.
I flattened that out with my mates belt sanderhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...703d50990a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fa476146df.jpg

I wanted to try to start doing some spray bursts. Bought this el cheapo spray brush from bunnings and compressor. Already had some colortone stains ready to rock.

After a number of failed tests, I settled for a mixture of stain, lacquer thinner, method and shellac.

Nice. I like bursts that have a gradual transition.

Not bad for a first try.
