    I wish Wierdy . To be honest, quite a few in my current stack are from previous birthday sales, so in a way :P.

    cheers,
    Gav.

    The only thing i dont like about poly, well wipe on anyway, is that if you patch a spot you get witness lines, nitro is more forgiving. It can be pricey, but it makes up for it in usability and is easily patched and repaired.
    Complete coats of spray poly would look pretty good though, and very glossy straight up

    Absolutely Stan. I've documented my trials and tribulations with wipe on poly here before and now I wont go near it. I have some spray on poly from one of the stain companies so I'm going to give that a spin and see how it goes. Might even try it on this project, but i don't want to have to start the finish a third time .

    cheers,
    Gav.

    Couldn't agree more Gav - it's a great shape with so much offset goodness. I'm planning a scratch build similar to yours based on a Toronado with a couple of twists. I can't wait to finish my current one to get stuck into it!
    Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"

    In Progress:
    Build #6 N1R "Semi-scratch" build
    Build #7 JZA-1 Baritone

    The Cavan Project
    The Magnificent Compaņeros
