Re: Need you input.

If you decide to smooth it have the seam filled right behind the door. It makes a BIG difference in how it looks.

What color are you going with?

Re: Need you input.

Looks great. One question how do you go about smoothing it out? Do you have to glaze the entire shell or can you sand it smooth?
