@dennise that looks gorgeous! I wanted to put mine together and make sure it worked and was playable first so I did that last weekend (pictures and audio demo at NGD: Solo DIY kit - #36 by mari ). Now I’m going to take it apart, finish it, and put it back together again! I’m going to be doing the finishing at a friend’s woodworking shop so that’s on hold for a while due to the number of Covid cases. I’ll leave it together for now so it’s playable, until we pick some dates for the finishing work.
A couple of questions for you if you don’t mind - Did you sand / paint / paint again / seal? Did you spray paint or hand paint? And finally, did you use shielding paint or shielding tape?
I am looking forward to the final pics and an audio clip!!
