good evening everone

thank you for comments and likes

 

put a rattle can spray over the stern section to see what needs to be sorted, and to be honest it was mainly OK apart from around where the PE had been added, she will remain like this for a while whilst i go back to the the forward sections

what comes first the chicken or the egg, the hull needs doing before the compartments go in, but i need the compartments doing as i dont want to damage the hull

the hull work won that argument,

on the port side i cut out all the free flood holes and area to be replaced with etch, painted inside matt black and rattle can grey external, i have messed the top deck up big style, and went way to far on the cutting out, but not the end of the world, just a lot more work, to reinforce  when infact should be getting on with the Belle Poule
