So, another few coats of clear, sanded out, then two coats of blue again, thicker at the rim. Once the Blue had a chance to dry, I sanded out the middle sections and then it's getting another few coats of clear over that.

I cut a scratchplate from a sheet of 1.5mm polystyrene sheet that was laying around and once the finish is dry I'll get things assembled.


I'm contemplating putting the two volumes on a stacked pot.........

we'll see!!
