Mark. A most commendable compromise to the age old problem. 'To build or not to build - When not seen.'

I won't be sending you details and a membership form for my 'Cheapskate Club'....At least not on this occasion!

Neat work Mark. The boat is coming along nicely.

To my eternal shame and being bone idle, apart from the 'Dash Board', I left off all the interior. Figuring it wouldn't be seen.

So top marks to you sir, for constructing the kit as it should be built. :thumb2: :thumb2:

Pete, my point exactly. Do you or don't you?...... And if you don't, try and keep yer gob shut and not admit to it!

Well after filler,filler and more filler,followed by plenty of sanding,ive got some more colour on, mr hobby white putty was used for the bigger areas,(good stuff) and a bit of valleo plastic putty squirted in a few seams and wiped back with a cotton bud with ab thinners . Paint was a 4 .1 mix of mr hobby aqueous yellow and red gloss, covered quite well given its mostly yellow. Ill give this a day or two to dry properly before doing the blue band round the bottom of the cabin.

Looking very good Mark. Just bought some Mr Hobby white myself. Still on the learning curve, but it works much better than the AK stuff I was using before :thumb2:
