Making flames...

As this is a birthday present, I intend to print this blog and include it with the guitar.  This means I need his kids to help...

First thing we did was liberally cover it in black ink, which will be sanded back bring out the flame stripes.


Aprons donned and black ink poured, now the messy stuff ensued...


 Lily, now being an expert after the last project supervised



Nearly there...


A few hours later and it had dried, the girls didn't like sanding - apparently it's boring so they left that to me.  As with the Les Paul kit you have to be careful sanding as it's only a very thin veneer and can easily be sanded through so I did it all by hand with a fine grade sandpaper.
