Here we go... Muzza's first build. Non PBG PRS-1TS

Thanks Tweaky, but that's only the first few coats. The black part of the burst will eventually take up a lot more of the surface before I'm finished. Have a look half way down page 3 of his thread to see what I'm hoping to emulate.

The black scares me, so I'm taking baby steps - each coat encroaching a little further until I get is something like I want.

Definitely airbrushing next time. I don't have the patience for all this waiting.

Hi Muzza, ever thought about using humble black ink pad ink or black fountain pen ink which is cheap and available at officeworks.

Looks like most black stains or dyes allow some of the grain to show and probably only a solid black paint would be the alternative to get similar effect as shown on page 3 of this thread.
