So we are at end November - I've got a darker blue body than I envisaged, and I'm not lovin it.
Put some acrylic on it and ...... it's even darker. But by this time - am so far steeped in blood etc . that I can't go back.
Got to live with it.
Mind you - the grain really looks quite nice.
So thought - maybe a solid black body instead of solid blue .... I had no confidence I could get a reasonable match for the blue.
