Hi, I have now sprayed all the metal parts I had primed with Tamiya Metallic gold. Once dried, I painted some of the detail in matt black as per the instructions.   I have dry fitted one of the balcony rails, and the width seems very wide and obscures the door I have fitted. Need to rethink this area?  Regards claret Also working on:

Claret Hi Claret, I found the metal rail didn't interfere with my doors as I deliberately set them closer to the hull than the rail....  Regards Alan

Hi Alan, Thanks for the reply. I may have to move the doors. Hit another stumbling block, still waiting over two months for CMB to send 1mm diamond mesh I ordered. Used the standard mesh and turned it through 45 degrees, but have run out of this now. One one window to do aswell!!  . Regards Claret Also working on:

Hi, Work has started on the transom. A little bit of fettling required to get a good fit, but slow process, allowing paint and glue etc to cure.  More to follow at the weekend. Regards claret Also working on:
