I decided to fade to turquoise in the middle of the body and do a similar pattern on the headstock. I've done the sides a lighter blue and I'm leaving the back and the fretboard natural. I've glued the neck in place and Simon Barden was right about the neck angle - it is a bit on the shallow side but I reckon just about OK. I've replaced the plastic nut with a bone one. Now just waiting for the glue to dry before I give the whole thing a couple of coats of 2K clearcoat.
