    Yep, the standard of entrants each month is unbelievably good but never let that put you off as yours is worthy to be amongst any that have been entered so far this year.

    Thanks Waz, again, most appreciated.
    Just realised this build has already taken 3.5 months!!
    I put on a second coat of clear on the back tonight. I also gave the back of the neck a light rub with 1200 and it is super smooth now. It will be interesting to see how it comes up after the second coat dries.

    I also need to fix up a mistake on the front of the head stock. I wanted to clean up the finish a bit, so I used some 1200 wet and dry but didn't expect the marker pen I used for the logo to wipe away with 2 coats of clear over the top!
    I'll need to touch it up tomorrow night. Not happy, it's my first real setback.

    That's a quickie Z, EXA-1 is at 9 months already, 10 months if you include the agonising over how to start.
