Bunny's Budget Build #2

[DemonBunnyman]

So back to some etching and a test with pin striping tape. I use flat white primer as the resist. I think next time i will use a gloss enamel for a better resist. Seems i had a but of bubbling that ended up in a little pitting. But really who cares this will be a loaner stunt with a rough cost in materials of about 20$ all inclusive.

I love that spiral look. Thanks for the inspiration, I might have to try this.

After some Aluim black and fine sanding and a coat of aluim seal. Need to finish the emitter drill the switch hole for the switch. Etch the Emitter cowl
Specs will be:
Latching 16mm Switch
Blink Accent Led in Acrylic pommel
Covertec wheel
Still havent made my mind up on the color i have a few random LED's so maybe ill just pick one blindly.
