Sorry Bob, Black ain't a colour!
When I rub the hull down to improve the surface ready for some final coats of paint, I may have a re-think about my colour (or non-colour) choice for the Wave Rider, but for now the hull is black and green.
Amongst the tins of paint, I did find another "non-colour paint" (white) and was tempted to use that, but I am guessing that most of my classic model boats will end-up with a white hull, so I thought I would take a look to see what black would look like on this one.
Rapier1 has black hull sides and has attracted a lot of favourable comments from lakeside viewers, and some have described it as being "very distinctive" (that may not be intended as complimentary!)
but it is "different" and this Wave Rider could also end up looking just a little bit different too.Green is not a colour I would usually associate with model boats, and it is not one that I would have thought about using on any of mine, but this green did look nice and bright so I have put some on to see what it looks like when contrasted with some gloss black.When the paint is dry I will take a good look at it in daylight and see if I think it was such a good idea .......or not.
