Cheers guys, I'm going to do I White dot filter on the upper surface (cheers Mike for the recommendation) then Matt varnish it. I think that will be enough. Do the tracks, then I can start on the dio.

96-100 depending on the kit, and the type of fruil tracks that you have Nige.

Cheers for the info Mike :th: I've got the right tracks this time mate! The initial mirror tracks. Took me 2 1/2 hours to do fifty! Loads of drilling required.

Holy hell Nige!!!
I would imagine it would knock the stuffing outa you. Dude! you have my sympathies.
Truly bud. I've been there, it's a crap place.

The work on the dio is amazing, I don't know how you can concentrate on that. Wow.
You've got more sand in your britches than I do.
