    The resin experiment MkII seems to have done the trick:

    I'm going to have to wick some CA down the edges though as it seems the resin pulled away from the body in a couple of places as it hardened. After hitting it with the router to level it out and trim it down though, it still seemed as solid as a rock so i;m okay with it.

    I'm just now fighting an urge to try and mount some LEDS to have it lit up!

    I reckon it'd look sick with red pulsing LED Strip in there! Possibly a bridge too far...

    In other FrankenWashie specific news, I have just realised that I allocated the SD Black Winters that were going into this to the Cliche Black LP. So Adam now has an order for some Entwistle X3's. we'll give them a run and see what we think, I've also some kit HB's that could go in if i feel the need.
