Another build thread pictorial masterpiece on the way....
It's a really nice chunk of mahogany, 2 pieces and believe it or not that lighter part on the upper body is not a join.
Being an LP Jnr it's gotta be TV yellow right? or sunburst? or a Fender colour?

Very nice Mick - looks like a choice kit and looking forward to seeing this creation come together. You gotta love an LP Jnr !!
It's been a long while since I've built a kit.. and after 4 build this is the first non basswood one haha. The quality of the kits has always been good but this one just feels next level.Quote:

In the photo, it looks like you're getting some reaction between the two finishes, especially on that top edge.
na it's just the weird light... could be that the burst is gloss and the rest is matt as well :)
Shaped and painted the headstock today... gloss black.
After it's cured i'll bung a decal on and gloss it.

Also hit the P90 cover with some off cream colour.

Nice work Mick, what type of paint did you use on the p90 cover?

yeah me either.... but I did muck up the clear coat, so back to square 1 haha.
Nil Desperandum. Keep going, you'll get there in the end.
Mick what happened to the clear coat did it reject or wasn't compatible ? You did use two types of paint at the start from memory
I dropped a dustpan of sawdust on it hahaQuote:

It might have been all the paint fumes from doing this in a confined space but for the first time ever... here's a colour photo from mid way through a build.
*insert utter shock and horror, rioting in the streets and the general downfall of society*
I don't know what you want to call it but technically it's a 5 colour burst and I'm damn stoked on it.... pity really hahaha

nice burst Mick you nailed it. Was that all done with spray gun or rattle cans ?
Top notch burst!

so now Mick while it cures keep any cats and sawdust WELL away from the axe haha
Rattle cans... shot yellow, then orange, then cherry red, then Maroon and then the black... tried to do it quick so the layers would blend a bit better.Quote:

Would have been so easy to overspray an area you shouldn't have. Must have been done on a dry sump haha
A colour pic?

had a solid shed day today.... such paint, very fumes, many high.
I did unpack all the little bits and pieces that hold everything together though :)
