Good start I'm just restoring the back box on mine then she's complete. Hey I've got a file for a the sanctum outline and writing if you want it? I filled and airbrushed the grey and then laid over a water slide transfer of the outline and writing then cleared it and put some Mylar over it
Could be a few shadows at our show ,thinking of taking mine,just fully l.e.d the game

Thanks rude dog so what do you print this on? can you buy water slide transfers for inkjet printers? And what was your paint mix to get the correct colour?
Still waiting for mine to come!
You need laser ones inkjet ones will run. I used createx paint and mixed it myself

What filler did you use on Sanctum repair and what did you use to sand it flat?
I used car body filler from halfrauds I used upol on the back box but was a diff brand on the sanctum (makes no difference upol is easier to sand). And I used various grades of wet and dry to sand it
Did you mask off the surrounding area before sanding?
Yes

I used Ronseal wood filler and sanded it with a black & decker mouse detail sander
the ronseal stuff is the same as body filler just dearer ;0)
