    Did you 3D print those skeleton bits?

    A cheap airbrush kit (dual action) from ebay would be great for adding the black. You can some good feathering with an airbrush.
    I think I got one for around $30 a few years ago. Still works great.

    Hi McCreed, these are all carved and sanded from pine and plywood. No 3D printing.

    The reason I'm going for brushed on detailing is that I have some artists, including a Special FX makeup artist, in the family who can give assistance if I need it.
    PitBull Builds: FVB-4, LP-1SS, FBM-1, AG-2, TB-4, SSCM-1, TLA-1,TL-1TB, STA-1HT, DSCM-1 Truckster, ST-1, STA-1, MBM-1, MBM custom, GHR-1 (Resonator), FH-5V (Acoustic).

    Scratch Builds: Pine Explorer, Axe Bass, Mr Scary, Scratchy Tele's.

    The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"

    Sounds like you got it covered! And I just went back a couple pages and saw the skull & bones. I forgot about that!
