Dave,
I am really cruddy at taking pictures but here is a shot of some of the guide wraps thus far. I put a coat of color preserver on them and the pictures don't show that I think.
The single bands were a pain and I have a couple of practice rods I am using that were damaged in shipping to and from overseas.
The rod blank is a really nice blue/teal (depending on lighting) and the thread is matched well when in good lighting.
For my first try I am pretty satisfied but I will most likely re-wrap them tonight as I can see where things aren't even.

Not certain if I uploaded the pictures correctly but this one seems to go through
