    It's more so space at the moment, so I would have to do a full station set up and pack down each Time I can work on it. Hopefully I get some time before though!!

    So seeing the Lp-1 kit in the Comp makes me keen for that to be my next kit (whether I win or not)
    Can't wait to be in our house so I can get this kit finished and make room for another!!

    So I was able to do something on my build tonight! My vinyl came in the mail!! I ordered some MOP vinyl but it looked ridiculous so I used the White "leftover" edges to create "Guitar" in Japanese I'm very happy! I will be putting a coat of top coat on to seal it some

    That's awesome, Shazz

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hey Chazking, I used the Dingotone wax. You can get it from the online shop!

    Thanks DB, I had to use a scalpel and a steady hand. Apparently laser cutters don't cut vinyl!
