    I've been looking at your build and am very impressed. I am thinking of building this kit and wondering of you have some overall insights on what was good about the kit, and what might have been some "watch-outs". I do like the larger scale and love working on little details. I also have a slight hand tremor that makes it a bit challenging to do complex rigging, but this model does not seem too complicated - at least there seems to be more room to manage threads, knots, etc. than in a more fully-rigged ship. Thanks, in advance, carl

    Priming and painting over fibreglass

    in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques

    I'm building my first RV boat, Occre's Ulises. I have already applied fibreglass plus additional coats of epoxy resin. I am looking for some advice as to what kind of primer and paints to use to finish the hull. I have made quite a few static models and a basic primer and acrylic paints work well. I also have some SPAR varnish that someone recommending as a final coat. Advice anyone?
