Louie..I am working on this exact model myself, and at the same stage. There is something fake about this. There is no way " this is my first boat" including his knowledge of terms and methods, can be true.
Then he stops posting.
No one can plank like this on a first boat...but his k owledge is extensive, expert perhaps " garbage strake" etc. Then, as a beginner, is not happy with the decals and decides to amazing work on the windows. If you are new, you just want to finish your first model.
9 years and he has disappeared.
Weird.
