Great colors! Those are really going to pop! Kind of has an oceanic/beach vibe. Very cool.

Thanks, That's what I thought when I first saw it. Almost like a sunset at the beach.

Those of you who have shipped to Vaughan, what have you been putting on customs forms?

The reason why I ask is, I'm sending a VR mod too.

Got it in the classies a while back, figured it needed a trip back for some TLC and an updated 510.

If it was just the block I wouldn't be so worried.

declared value is the big one for NZ. Check with vaughan what price the grab n snatch tax kicks in. I think around $300nzd, but unsure

I remember reading something like that many posts ago. Just couldn't remember the amount.

Speaking of maintenance.

Still not pristine. But contact points are good. Hitting much better.

Under 250USD including shipping is safe, over this the customs fees are added, to the tune of 200nzd or so.

The green mod complete ready to go in the box.
I have done a solid switch on this one with threaded brass tube embedded in the body of the button, acting as the contact point.

This was a big disappointment, while making the first cuts on splat's beautiful blue block, It became apparent that the dye only penetrated a few mm into the wood. Luckily she has a spare block here!

That looks awesome Vaughan! Amazing work as always. Can't wait!

bummer, about the dye

 

[Splatnext]

Yep, I'm very disappointed to say the least but this stuff can happen.This was supposed to be double dyed.
I'll contact the seller and see what comes of it.
Lucky for me I have that gorgeous block of amboyna burl that Vaughan can work on.

Man seeing these pictures is starting to get to me.
