The Only Way Is...

Well, another day another donut, as we say in the little kingdom of Jook, and today, whilst waiting for pickup rings a la Chi Chi, I am going to be turning the air blue.

For today I start the bodywork of The Bergasol One, and I am looking forward to it.

First up, will be a thorough sanding and smoothiness-inducing shake of the wire wool brush.

From there the back and sides will be stained a hue of blue.

A blue hue it will be if I do it wrong as well..

If that dries in time (so probably not) the top will get a good old fashioned bronzing with super fast tanning err, bronze paint. It is like Strictly around here most days, you couldn't and wouldn't imagine. Shouldn't, probably too.

And once that has had a couple of coats and is dry, I'm going for a subtle yet pretty much smothered coat of home brew acid to bring out the bluey green in it's eyes.

Once all that is done, it will be stabilised and generally coated with hot wax .

So maybe more of an Essex thing really. Perhaps it should have been Basildon not Bergasol, I never thought about it enough, clearly.

Of course detailed plans like this are important, yet may have no doppelganger in reality. May indeed contain nuts, or not, as tastes go or indeed may change over time.

Or the posty might turn up with my Boss GT8 which will mean days of fretting over parameters before the inevitable Ebay listing come Monday morn..

La la laaaa
