So, Another weekend done.. here's a quick update.
I didn't get as much footage this week, so hopefully these photos work.
This weekend was mostly focussed on colour. I started off discovering it is tricky to pour paint into your gun whole trying to photograph the event at the same time... maybe next time I'll prepare better...
Then I threw down some base coat, and followed it up with clear... I left it to "bake" for an hour or so and called it a night.
This needs a few days to really go off before i start thinking about buffing etc, so I spent a little time preparing the electronics. I have decided to go with the standard pickups and pots for now, and if i really hate them once it is together i will steal some pickups out of a guitar that I hardly use anymore and see how they go. I do like the look of the gold covers though, so I'm going to cross my fingers and see how it goes.
brilliant use of an old pizza box - I know..
Of course, i wanted to see how it looked with the hardware... so i set it loosely on there to take a shot..
I think this will go well with the mustang parked in the driveway.. (this was the colour inspiration)
