Wokkas IC-1 Iceman

[wokkaboy]

Howdy formites, been a while since I did a build diary, latest project the IC-1 the shape of this axe really intrigues me, oozes style. I gave it a light sand, and plans after seeing VH2580's IC-1 is a metallic blue solid finish with the southern cross stars, early days but planning to prime the body Saturday, been a while since I painted an axe so I'm expecting a good stint in the naughty corner, see you there Gav, you seem to be stuck there !!
Makes a change not as much sanding required for paint. OK DB I got the message already, I'll be in the naughty corner !!

Looks like your building mini guitars to Wokka. And I must say great back drop.

Got the neck and body primed for colour coat Sunday, some sanding to do but everyone loves sanding

Goatis, the blue paint is Holts Auto Spray Cyan blue, in the sun it gives a nice metallic look. Cost $25 from Auto One for 400g can. I used about half the can on the neck and body, so should get 2 good coats from the can, hopefully that will be enough to clear coat over

The colour is looking great Wokka. What are you going to use for clear coats?

cheers,
Gavin.

colour looks great wokka, but more importantly, I have now seen the much talked about pizza oven!
