Looking good Chris, nice bit of masking there! How are you going to do the draught markings? Decals?

Hi Chris
The black line has come out perfectly. Removing masking is always a worrying time - has the paint leaked under it, will it pull off the paint already done :rolling:

[boatman]

wow! That's a stunning job Chris!

MANY THANKS Neil yea now shes comin on a treat i feel as though im getting somewhere on her as its always the hull that takes all the time to build it would have been nice to have had a F/G hull but no joy as the makers dont do them that big trust me to be awkward lol
