Ditto, very nice indeed! Did you hand cut all the checkerboard on the bottom?
Yes. The paper backing on Ultracoat makes it much easier to do than using Monocote. Just draw the squares using a yardstick or ruler to the size you want and then cut on a piece of glass. After laying on the first square, I use another square to provide the spacing to the next one. Close up inspection reveals that not all the corners come together perfectly, but not enough to bother me. A 1/16" piece of striping along the edges would help hide all of this, I just didn't feel like doing it. I've got a week to think about it while I'm at work though, so I may not be done yet[sm=wink_smile.gif].
