Finished Dash

[AlanD]

Hi Guys,

well its done, i have spent all morning polishing it, just needs a good coat of beeswax now, i have the chrome ring for the hazard surround to fit then its up for sale. Considering it's my first i'm really pleased with it, it looks better in the flesh, i have not given it a glass like finish as i didnt think it would look right. now i need to crack on with my own Walnut dash.

It all looks OK. I hope mine come up as well. I have veneered them and they are now ready for lacquer / varnish.

What did you use to get the hazzard and brake decals ?

[AlanD]

i have found that you need to put a lots of layers on, you will end up sanding half of it off to get a good finish

i bought them from a model shop on e-bay called Sail-RC. They are number plate decals for cars, 3mm Aerial white

hope this helps gents

Thanks Neil, the rubbing down was not as bad as i thought it would be, glad i did it by hand though, if i had done it with a sander or something i would have gone through the lacquer

Just the ticket but at the moment they dont have any items listed on Ebay

[AlanD]

you can google them and go straight to their shop Neil, they dont advertise the 3mm ones i had to do a search for them on the shop site
