Thanks for the kind words guys
Next update;
Today i had been back and forth between this pf and my Quickdraw pf, doing bits n pieces on both at once!! Anyway for this one this post here is how i decided to do the black circles around the inserts for the section i detailed in my last post.
I spray painted these with a spray can, believe it or not!! First as can be seen in the 1st pic, i stuck down some clear contact over the inserts, and used a compass with a scalpel attached to cut out the circles (i read about a similar trick here ages ago.. i think it was a trick of retropin's
) anyway it worked a treat!! perfect circles ready to be sprayed. The only mistake here was that where i had the compass point, i should've stuck extra masking tape down.. to cover the hole in the contact where the compass point was, which i forgot to do in my haste to get some paint on
next time i'll know better. The result of this was a nice black pinhole in the middle of the insert
whick i had to scrape out carefully with the scalpel and refill with some clear lacquer. After doing this and a sand back with 1200 grit wet&dry paper and a polish with some 3M hand glaze the came up pretty good.
Next time i'll double sided tape down some thin plastic to the centre of the inserts for the compass point to dig into rather than the insert!!
