So, finally received my iron (I did my first two builds with a very basic variable iron, but it's going so much better now), and I was eager to try it so I did another build last night. Had to adjust to the new iron, but my soldering technique is getting better.
This one gave me a headache with the decal, and the clear coat at first.
I had to sand it back and reapply a decal, and I managed to drop the enclosure and chip it, but it goes with the worn theme I added to the font.
Cosmetically, I'm happy with it now, even with some imperfections.
I named it "1978", because it's the year the RAT was developed, and also my birth year, so it was fitting!
Really like the sound, but will get to try it more in depth tonight.
[Edit]: another version can be found below.
