                      Next is false bow waves, varnish, wood decks and bash at washes, rust etc

                      Getting there albeit slowly!

                        Evening all

                        Was hoping to do a lot more on Graf over xmas but sadly Julies dad was taken to hospital 3am xmas day and is not at all well. So its been a worrying time.

                        But today added the false bow waves using for the first time AK masking putty. What great stuff! Not 100% but i think it looks ok.
