Thanks Chris, at time I suppose we all feel like trowing it out the window, there is a lot to be said with sticking with it

YES Bri stick with it as at the moment ive got a bit of a balls up on the big tail fusealarge on my hustler an it looks terrible as it was too big to match the main fusealarge may take a pic of it but im stickin with the model to try an get it to look decent
so used up loads of fine sandpaper an even had to use the mini dremel with a round sander in to get it to fairly match so im in supence at the moment to see how it will turn out oh dear

Nice progress Brian.

 

[Bri62]

Thanks Joe.
Finished the gun port planking and I want your opinion )do I carry on the planking with the pearwood or carry on the planking with walnut for a contrast? I have both wood.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Won’t it look a bit weird if you change wood halfway down, bit like an open sandwich, or will they be coloured the same?

If the bottom of the hull is painted white then it won't really show.

[stillp]

If it's going to be painted, just use whatever is easier or you have most of.
