Since I do not want to disappoint again (remembering back to the Axe Bass) I'm going to say yes. Also some sweat and tears. Hopefully they all sand out!Originally Posted by McCreed
Is that blood I see on the top of the body near where the skull will go??????
(it better be, or I'll be super disappointed)

It's epoxy or filler isn't it?
Making the world a better place; one guitar at a time...
Today I created a routing template for the control cavity recess for the cover and a template for the control cover out of 12 mm MDF. The recess template was made using 45 mm holes at the ends using a forstner drill bit, the rest was jigsawed, and then filed to shape . I then routed the recess into the body. Also made the cover using 3 ply pickguard material.

I have now started to put sanding sealer on to the back and sides of the body and the neck. I will put down a few coats and then sand it back with 240 g. This is in preparation for some black paint from a spray can when it gets a bit warmer here.

Perth is starting to warm up. So today I gave the back of Mr Scary a couple of coats of black MTN94. Seems to have worked well.

True. But we should be good for a while now though!

Added the logo and name today. Both vinyl stickers cut with the Cricut machine. I had a few issues with some of the smaller bones in the name as they did not want to stay on the backing when the main parts were weeded out.
Also added a few layers of clear of SCA acrylic. I will give it a gentle 600 grit sand tomorrow and add a few more layers of clear.
