This weeks progress.
Started off by protecting the hull with several layers of thined poly' varnish and a littlle filler to smooth things over a bit.

As the week progressed I started to apply the paint.
At first I just did any areas I thought might give me problems.

Finally I took the masking tape off to reveal the hull painted, for the first time.

The latest pics.
Just a few tidying up jobs to do after this, as well as giving the paint chance to harden off.





Hope you like it?
