yes,i bought a couple of coin mechs off ebay uk,they were only like £9 for both delivered.but,thanks for the offer.
i just finished sanding down and basicly all the filling and sanding is done,might be 1 or 2 places i missed but,i will see in the future as i progress.
them broken/smashed corners dont exist anymore,both were in bad shape,not terrible but,needed rebuilding:
both sides:
just a case of wipe it down of dust etc,undercoat with zinsser and then top coat.will be a light grey i think.
shame realy,the original is laminate but,all the filling and sanding shows too much.i would have loved to have stripped the laminate off and put woodgrain effect so it went to how the original moon cresta was.but,i think its a trade off,harder job and more money versus fill and sand with uncoat and top coat.it will definately benefit from it,its just a cse of getting the right finish on the top coat.i will wire wool it down to get it right pretty smooth and remove any little blemishs it might get.
hopefully the moon cresta goodies will be here by saturday also.fingers crossed.
