    Today’s efforts.

    Adjusted font size, used a shadow font, and changed a few things. Added a decal to the back of the neck, too.




    Soldering successful. Sound test (picture may not have sound, but it worked).

    How did you go putting on the decal under the tru-oil?
    I am keen to know for my build.

    Cheers

    Hi Tim,

    Make sure you have a couple of polished coats of Tru Oil on first, then apply the decal … this prevents a colour difference from showing under the decal. After the decal sets, I very gently applied the Tru Oil over the decal with a model building / hobby paint brush. I will be finishing the polishing of the neck on Wednesday (progress pics to come).

    Thanks so much mate. Your advice saved me a obvious mistake that I would have made. Many thanks and congrats on the build and your attention to detail. Cheers Tim
