ECK Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share #123 Posted August 7, 2023 So far it looks like I can do 6 tile lengths a day. The water line appears to be looking pretty straight so far so I won't have to cut the tiles along the whole length at the end which is not easy. I think just a bit of retape and paint perhaps.

ECK Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share #132 Posted August 23, 2023 Finally done. I gave 3 coats of poly, taped the edges, poly'd the tape edge, repainted the black wale then re-coated with poly. Next is the rudder which will take at least a day to do given the coppering then fixing it in place. It is a shame that Chris could not get the single copper piece for the rudder, would have life much easier. chris watton, mugje, mgatrost and 9 others 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share #134 Posted August 25, 2023 Finally finished coppering. The darn rudder took 5 hrs to do.Got to at last turn it right side up again.
