Hi guys
How can you tell that a new camera came into the house? getting bloody snap happy! Zathros, sorry, we need to sand....I was really impressed with the way that plain old 1mm cheapo card looked after it was worked like this though. It has future potential I think. Hi Gil! It's been awhile. I'm really glad to see you're still here. Here's the result of some 'abrasive abuse' and another coat of polyurethane. My guess is that 10 minutes with a bit of filler in a skin coat in a few spots and she's ready for veneer. I can't stress enough how good the polyurethane works as a sealer. Prior to sealing, the card would literally peel away when sanded. After sealing it sands almost like wood. Keel tomorrow and possibly the gun port covers. I want to play with some of the veneer strips there before I cover the hull.
Talk soon!
Ron
