Hi Guys,
I'm in a real quandry over this. I've just about finished building the hull of a Mersey Docks and Harbour Co, vessel .. the Vigilant ... scratch built plank on frame, and have filled and sanded till I've lost count of the number of times. I think I'm just about ready to start the spray paint job in earnest, but what do I paint first??
The main hull is the usual red oxide anti-fouling with black upper works and that seems easy enough, but how do I go about painting the inside of the bulwarks, which are white? When is the best time to put in all the bulwark stiffeners, I take it that I'll have to spend a couple of weeks masking the deck off all around them and then once they're painted, mask them all out in order to paint the deck. And then there're all those holes in the bulwarks for hawes pipes etc..... its a real headache!!! any advice will be most welcome.
I've put some not very good photos on, hope they work. Taken before all the sanding and filling!!
