I'm in the dreaded west near Blacktown.

So another long shift at work... So I thought I'd update my build diary!

Firstly, I am terribly sorry for my bad spelling in my last post. I think I'll blame that on autocorrect. :?

I have...

Cool, thanks guys. I'm fairly certain I cand sand the side of the neck back a bit so it doesn't look so miss aligned. And hopefully the paint fills the gap a little bit.

Just found a paint store...

Also I know "the rules" about spray painting, but as a thought, would it be better to glue the neck in place before spraying or should they be done seperately? and if seperately what is the best way...

Just one more to show the gaps.

How, as an amateur whose only woodworking skills have been gained from my last build, do i make it match like the epi?
...

Checking all the pieces fit:-

Everything seems very nice, except for the neck fit. It is snug which is good, but it is a different width to the neck cavity. It's only by a small amount, but when...

So I thought I would do an actual build diary this time, as its a real pitbull kit.

First things first:-

Naming the project,

... ... ... to be continued.

Opening the box,

That sounds epic, where does one find this coke black paint?

Haha I was going to put up that white framus too. \\m/

Brendan - its dark amber, I was blown away by the tone of the thing when I finished it... I thought all this talk of tone was a bit over the top, reading all the comments about it. But fire and...

lol also notice the advertising in the corner. Total accident, I didn't even notice it until I'd shown off the photos a few times.

Hi guys,

So I finally finished my first build and am so excited about how well it works, I thought I would show it to you. I haven't actually completed a build diary. But I have been lurking here...

The Jens Ritter Royal. mmmm

Lol I think I started birthed a monster here :o

Thanks guys

Sorry Adam, I didn't mean any criticism in my question. On the contrary, I am incredibly impressed by this site.

Anyhow, how do I go about making said order? Do I just add it into the notes? Or do...

Hi guys,

I know I sent an email like this to Adam a while back but I never heard back about it. I think I may have been sorted as spam... Ouch

But anyways, is it possible to order a 26.5 inch...

Being a librarian myself. I have a quick tip, check for these books on bookdepository.com first. I have purchased a veritable library of the stew mac books, mainly from this site, though there are a...

Gah, I was wrong, no green day, sorry pest (licensing problems). I must have been thinking of my chemical romance... Lol who could have got THOSE two bands mixed up

Rocksmith is wonderful guys. Though it's biggest problem is lag on the sound... And green day songs are now available as dlc on steam pest! As well as the darkness!

Sorry guys, you've got a nerd...

That's close, I think I'll buy one to see how it looks in person. I didn't think to look under car parts, should've though, everything else he did with that guitar seems to involve motorbike decal...

Thanks man,
That is exactly what I needed to know.

But do you have any idea where I could get an "Iron Cross"?, I still can't find one.

So here is the plan
I want to try and reproduce this wonderful machine.

What do you call the maltese cross on the body, I know its a metal plate, but does it have a proper name that I can use to...

Haha well this is my first "build"... As well as my first time trying woodwork! Maybe next time :)

I'm loving the ideas on this. My preference at this moment is pablo's black and red beauty! How on earth would you stain it like that? Along with the 4/2 pegs and Adams HSS black pickups. I'm not...
