Insomnia and Gold Digging

Now that's what I call gold

Well, not that I'm obsessing, but I couldn't sleep so I've been checking on the Lightning Dragon scratchplate, to see whether the varnish  has dried on the gold leafified scratchplate, and it seems to be pretty close.

We used an ageing lacquer for this, which is what I used all that time ago on The Old Burny One as it gives the gold a really deep 'lustre' or maybe makes it more yellowy-shiny, I'm really not sure. It looks kinda cool though and stunning against the body.

Once that dries, and I'm hoping that will be sometime this weekend, we can bang it all together, which will feel good.

Getting back to the normal chaos, next week is all about The Fallen One, although I can't imagine I'll leave The Betty  Blue One alone for long, so don't be too surprised if...

I do want to get that pair sorted out before I start chopping wood with abandon. I also need to finally get the parts together for The Travellin' Man One which is starting to get silly.

But anyway....

La la laaaaaaaaaa
