Thats what i have been doing. Got the port side done but was wondering if there was a better way to do this. Its a real pain in the butt. Ill tackle the starboard side tomorrow.. Once i get the first layer in the curves can be replaced with straight lines which will be mush easier to fit.

In the tropics all untreated wood is subject to damage from dry-wood termites and woodworm damage. I have actually had one of my finished models attacked and had to treat the internal wood with liquid fluid and then gassed the model and case to kill all insects under the cover. Liquid termite fluid cannot penetrate painted surfaces while gas penetrates everything but leave no residue and so does not treat. It just kills. So now to make sure that does not happen again i treat all the wooden parts before i paint or apply any finish.
