Thx John.
There are some minor paint faults that will need some polishing though.
But maybe I am to much of a perfectionist

That looks fantastic and the colour really suits the TR7, Beans, but what is the powder blue (?) car behind it?

I have seen it in the flesh (Tr7 and the pick up) both are really nice.
It will be really nice when it's done, keep up the good work!

I scanned the original plate and transferred the scan to a vector file, which was used for the printing file.
You'll have to bear one thing in mind, the minimum material thickness they can process is 1.5 mm.
