yeah whynot! I'd like one... ola@subcyde.com

ok thanks a bunch... another thing... I'm sitting here with my graphic on my PC and I wondered do any of you guys have an actual size RG/Universe body print that they can send... So I can fit the graphic into it...

Ok thanks... What brand of sandfiller do you use... I might be mistaken for what sandfiller really is so maybe it will be easier if you named a brand. I can't translate sand-filler into swedish so that the people in the hardware-store understand what I want...

Thanks for your reply Brian...

Is it really necessary to use filler when using a poster or a photocopy. Can't you just apply the finish directly to the paper surface?

Hello Brian I've read all of your tutorials and they are the most interested reading I've had for months now. I'm not really good in English so I've encountered a couple of parts that I don't understand.

Anyway here is the deal:

I've stripped down my RG7 body down to the basswood... Now I'm thinking of having a graphic on which blends into the grey/black finish I'm going to use. Here are my questions:

1. Can I use any printed paper as graphic, like can I go and buy an artist-poster and use that? Or is a pro photocopy needed? Is it because of waterbased inc and whatnot?

2. When applying the graphic should I do it directly to the woodsurface or should I put any coat inbetween? What do I do next before I apply a coat?

3. When applied I'm planning to do a coat on the graphic aswell as the body, then color it, let it dry then sand the color gently so the graphic comes through and blends with the color. Is this a bad idea?? Cause it would be cool if you can do it, maybe you have some different genious way of doing this!

That's my quiestions for now! Thanks a bunch!
