Got a little more progress to show on this, it's taking time because I've never attempted to make a body in this way before and I'm pretty much making it up as I go along...........at least no-one can say I'm doing it wrong!...........but I'd be glad if someone could show me an easier way! [attachment=167226:016.JPG] Got the battery compartment done, need to make a Wenge cover for it. It will be held in with little neo magnets and there will be a finger sized indent to allow it to be removed, I've done this before and it works quite well. I've chambered the body and glued the "scratchplate" in place, this had to be built up underneath to get it roughly to the level that the Ash top will be. Once the top is on, it can all be levelled and finished off, but getting the cutout for the top to fit flush against the scratchplate is a laborious task [attachment=167233:018.JPG][attachment=167234:021.JPG] [attachment=167236:022.JPG]
