  • Cheers folks. I spared you most of the sawdust ‘n’ power tools chat during the build, but it’s all up on my Instagram, if you’re interested. I’ll be starting my next build soon-ish, as well.

    @paradroid - Totally relate to how daunting it seems! The trick for me was to figure out that it all breaks down into a series of small tasks, decisions and skills to be learned, each of which is achievable. People like @christianSpaceman documenting their builds helped to demystify certain things for me. Also, not building the neck on this one helped to keep things at a manageable level of anxiety.

  • It's a lovely job, colour is great!

  • Yours looks spot on; it's no joke to make your own shape and have it look this good at the end - it's really impressive.

    The internet is full of people who have started out trying to "improve" on Leo's designs and not quite made it - certainly I've never designed my own and I'm not confident I'd be able to get it looking good if I ever did..

    Also, kudos on the paint - I don't paint mine, but my understanding is that metallics are especially difficult to do, and that looks really good. Look forward to the next build (especially the sawdust and power tools stuff 😉)
