hi all thought i would post some pics of the Bruma. She is supposed to be white but I made a bad decision she comes with enough wood to plank her in either Balsa or lime and i stupidly decided to do the first planking in Balsa, thinking it would bend easier and sand quicker, then do the second planking in lime, figuring it would be stronger and take a few knocks better than the Balsa. stuipd ! stupid ! stupid ! planked the second layer over a couple of days left her to dry thourghly over the next week before final sanding only when i went back to her where the Balsa had been sanded thinner the lime had pulled it away from the frame. had to strip it all off and start again. lesson learned never ever mix wood types, so instead of painting her white i decided to show off the wood work and stain and varnish her instead.





so there she is.
