Another RCA-4 is coming

This is cool. I can't wait to see how that headstock looks when it's sanded and veneered!

Trial and error

Hopefully more trail than error. Looks pretty good so far.

Beginning to appreciate the skill of the luthier/musical instrument maker

They all had to start somewhere.

All blue. A lot harder than I thought and not perfect like how I imagined it but it’s my first scratch build so I’m letting myself of a little

[wazkelly]

Might need to give it another coat if you want to even out the shade of blue and add a bit more on the lightest parts.

What do you intend to use for the top coat? Something clear will retain the blue shade whereas oils may add a greenish tinge.

[fe22ari]

Actually pretty happy with the colour and shading. As for the final sealing/top coats I’m not sure. Because it’s oil paint I might go with an initial seal with a spray on poly then loads of wipe on poly.

Sounds like a good plan.

I really like it. Headstock mods are pretty impressive.
