mtaylor Posted December 10, 2021 Author #211 Posted December 10, 2021 Been tempted on the drinks, Jeff. Andrew, I tried that and no joy. So, painting is the option. I'm giving thought to the yellow as Glenn suggested that also. Looks like a run to the hobby shop tomorrow in the morning. I'm going to try to get this "fixed" ASAP as next week is going to be busy. I get my new heart valve on Thursday.

Old Collingwood Posted December 10, 2021 #215 Posted December 10, 2021 Hi Mark, I agree with all the rest - Yellow Ocre was the go to paint back in the day, so I am sure it will look really nice with that Blue and Black.

mtaylor Posted December 12, 2021 Author #228 Posted December 12, 2021 Finally have the port side done with painting and touch ups.. more touch ups, ad infinitum ad nauseum. So here's two pics.

mtaylor Posted December 19, 2021 Author #238 Posted December 19, 2021 Been a bit frustrating day or so in the shipyard. I've been working on the rudder and got to the point of putting the Rudder Gudgeons on the rudder and fitting the rudder. Could not for the life of me figure out how to mount the gudgeons to the stern post. Then the penny dropped followed by much facepalming, banging of head on desk, and words used only by Marines and former Marines and not in mixed company. I rotated the hull and noted that I didn't finish painting the sternpost and found 5 small holes predrilled..... Doh!!!!!! The gudgeons fit in those holes!!! Anyway, where's where I am... drilling the holes in the stern post for fitting the gudgeons. Hope to have the rudder fitted by tomorrow. Need to stop beating myself up and carry on.
