captainhaddock Posted August 7, 2014 Author Posted August 7, 2014 Glad you like it. All the clear coats have been applied now! Once the finish has hardened it will be wet sanded and then buffed ready for Robbie to oil the neck and assemble the wee beastie! Quote
captainhaddock Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 [quote name='rk7' timestamp='1409573463' post='2540979'] Any news Captain? RK [/quote] Hi bud the headstock has had to be refinished as it had a few small blemishes in the finish and Robbie and Gaz the paint guy weren't happy with it! It should be sorted out this week so hopefully final assembly won't be far off. More info and pictures soon. Quote
captainhaddock Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 Hi mate, Not a lot to report at the moment Rob and Gaz have been having problems with the nitro finish! So we have decided to strip all the finish off sand it back to the wood and try a acrylic finish. Haven't had a chance to speak to Robbie lately so don't know how it's been going! Will post pictures or details as soon as I can. Quote
