Thanks Phil and Footski
Time to tidy up the damage to the keel and skeg. Its a shame that I didn't decide to go with the bare planking at the beginning of this build as I would have swapped the plywood keel for something like pear wood. Oh well you live and learn.
So I took some 400 grit carbide paper to the hull to knock it back ready for the next coat of epoxy

Then I did my usual mega masking up job.

Then the bit I like doing most - laying on the paint

I have used Vallejo acrylic paint which I must say is a great product to use.


I'm pleased with the results and its hidden all of the marks that I managed to put into it. Its also hidden the ply lines very well too




Next job later on today will be marking out and painting the waterline. I've got some aged white paint for this so that it doesn't look to clean and bright. I'll get some more pictures up tomorrow with a bit of luck
Thanks for looking - Mark
