Hey Andrew, love the candy finish on the tele looks great.
I've seen Jarrod's PRS and it is a hand built scratchy. He got the marbling effect putting paint on a plastic bag and dabbing it on the body. It looks even better in the flesh !

It's amazing hey. Would love to do a scratchy one day but no idea where to start!
Thanks guys, Andrew it comes from years of air brushing and well the build is actually my first scratch build by hand. Mate its all about taking your time and just getting things right. The wife says im an OCD perfectionist lol....this forum is a great place to pick up handy tips for many things. Just remember your efforts are creating something that will last a long time so whats the rush. I want an axe to look like a bought one so if it takes 2 to 3 months to achieve that then so be it.
Thanks mate. You know I'm a fan of your work. And that new one in the build is going to be incredible.
4 coats of clear on this. The marbling looks nuts in the sun with the clear on.

nice work Andrew, those small goosebumps on the body should disappear when it dries

Cheers guys. Hope so, it's getting wet sanded and polished up anyway so any orange peel should disappear
