The writing in red is most likely the width of the neck.

Look at the detail photo of this neck from the showcase

The number is 1.689 which is 1 11/16ths

Did the wood removal that I was worried about, plus a few more bits and bobs...

Actually there's a few updates since I last posted in this thread I think.

Great colour  :icon_thumright:

Here's what I would've used thou ..... just for a cleaner more even finish.
Also I would've re-moved the little islands.
But ... hey it's on the inside anyway.  :doh:

Far right one

Yeah the graffiti yellow is really, really nice. Very tiny change of colour under different light from slightly greenish to slightly orangeish. But most of the time it's YELLOW.

Just what I needed for that 80s vibe... weird considering it's modelled after a car from a film made in the 70s and set in the 60s.

The engraving bit wasn't completely ideal, but there was the huge advantage of me already having it. The shop near me has a crappy selection of dremel bits. The other big advantage was that it let me work really slowly, removing very little wood at a time.
