RGL Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share #97 Posted December 17, 2022 Base brown for the lower hull. My intention is to pretty much cover her in grunge, I think several years of sedentary life in the equatorial waters would make it a fantastic base for a alge reef.

RGL Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share #101 Posted December 25, 2022 Boxing day here in Oz, merry Xmas to the rest of you. I’ve completed the decks, which all had to be painted first as the construction processes require it to be finished first so I can get the whole thing to sit flush. This includes starting the dazzle painting on the sides. . I want to put a matte coat on the wood next then start plugging it all in. cog, king derelict, ccoyle and 8 others 11 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share #102 Posted December 26, 2022 So the decks, there will be an absolute ton on extra detail, not just the fittings.
