you could have done a modification to the wench's top and removed it with artwork.  perhaps a cross between playboy and black rose.

looks great.

Thanks again guys!

My artwork skills are not that flash, but I like your thinking!

I'm still perfecting my technique, but hopefully after the next couple I'll be able to look at doing some work for other members...!

You should easily do one playfield with 1ltr.  Probably 2 playfields.

I use standard hardner and no flex-aid at this stage.

I also buy 4ltrs of prepsol but I think I may up to a 20lt next time as its very good for cleaning everything...including cuts in my fingers.

I emailed you about another thing too...

Great work Marty, thanks for sharing it with us. 
Sorry if you covered this elsewhere but could you share a bit on what prep work is good to do before clearcoating and what needs to be done between coats and after the final coat.

Hey Pajo,

Sorry I missed your post..A lot of what I do has been covered in some of El_Timbo's threads with his fine work.  Basically if its a playfield which has already been clear coated (ie diamond plate), I use a fine grade pad to key the surface, followed by lots of cleaning with prepsol (wax / grease remover) and finally a wipe down with a new clean rag.  Next comes tack cloth then a light initial coat of clear.  Once the first coat has set, I'll generally wet / dry (block) the playfield, and repeat the process a further 2-4 coats depending on what needs doing.
