A couple more photos of the painted body
Before starting on the lacquer I’ve taken some pictures of what the body looks like “so far” and with the neck placed on (not actually attached) to get more of an idea of what the overall thing will look like.
Here are some results:
I’m pretty pleased with the result so far, even with a lot of stuff not finished you can see it’s starting to come together and in the way I had expected. There’s still a number of things to do, but it’s good to be able to see progress as it happens! Obviously there are no strings attached (!) yet and the hardware isn’t screwed on and the switch isn’t there (didn’t want to screw it to the control plate just to take a rough picture!)
Here are some close ups of the paint… click on the second one for comments on the blobby bit!
