Guitar progress?

Lesson learned, guitars are relatively easy to make, but the pay of will be so worth it. Weight reduction is going to be a real butt fungus to deal with, but eventually I will succeed. The really nightmarish part is to actually paint on the Union Jack flag. So far I’ve tried with painters tape, that idea has failed me hard, there is always something bleeding in under the tape, or wobbly lines. I considered painting it on transparent plastic. First thing that happened was that my minion spilled water over my many layers of paint. Which meant that I had to redo it again. Using foam was a at one point suggested. But small foam sheets are expensive as heck around here, or micro sized. So that is a no go. Paper on the other hand crumple up and becomes wonky when moisture is absorbed. Which leaves me to my final experiment this time around. Craft cardboard, primed with the right color. Cut into shape and attracted to a white sheet of paper. Which I will then glue on to the surface and apply a shiny finish, which might just makes it water retardant. It’s usually used for wood.
