looks great Sundragon, love the colour. Looks like you prepared the body well before the paint went on. Can't see any grain or runs. Top job

Hey Wokka,
Cheers
There's actually heaps of 'grain' waves because it's ash and there were valleys for days! I like it though cause it will add even more character to the relic process.
I'm really pleased with my first ever painting attempt though. I'd hope so too, there's $200 of Nitro on there :S
no worries Sundragon, sure you can see every bit of grain and waves. Will look cool for sure. Look forward to seeing the relic-ing. Would be cool to see some raw ash grain

That's actually a nice shade of blue, a bit like Sky Blue, can't wait to see this one finished, I wouldn't mind doing a Daphne Blue Strat one day.
I already love it! Please keep posting pics because I want to see how you progress with this axe![]()

Thanks for the comments guys
I'll keep you updated as I go.. but be warned, I tend to go slow. Life is busy and I have far too many hobbies!
Subscribe to the thread and you'll get updates when they happen(*Edit... is that something you can do here???)
Don't think so, but new posts go to the top of the list so we'll see it. I like Daphne Blue, a good choice. I'm going to refinish one of my Strats in it shortly.
It's worth putting a link in to your build in your signature. If you aren't posting that often, then your build can disappear down the list pretty quickly and be hard to find. If it's in your signature, then you only have to find the last post you did (which may not be in your build diary but on another thread) and you can get back to it.
