Hi all Have ordered myself some 1 x 4 mm basswood for the gratings. Picked it up this morning and cannot wait to start cutting my own gratings. Needs to wait to see the actual sizes required. Regards Kobus

The Tamiya paint is great to work with, I thinned it 2 x 1, and it was a breeze spraying it. Thanks for looking in. Regards Kobus

Hi all Just finished with the first layer of planking, the bamboo, now for the big manual labour, the sanding! Got myself a mouse sander but it's noisy and therfore can only use it during the day!  Regards Kobus

Planking looks good and tight. Be carful with your mouse it is easy to over-sand, looking forward to your results J “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

I sanded down the starboard side of the hull, then filled the whole area with woodfiller and sanded it down again. It is nice and smooth, now for the port side! Will post some photos once I've sorted Photobucket out!!  Regards Kobus
