More coats to create an even tone. The paint was still wet in this photo, giving it a sheen.

Well, that concludes this week's update due to the fact I ran out of paint! Blushing

I ordered more today, so no problem as I can continue next week. It's a bit of a shame as I wanted to do the 'big reveal' this evening, showing the boat with the completed, painted hull. Oh well, you'll just have to stay tuned for next weeks update! LOL

I intend to complete the painting of the hull and also paint in the draught marks in matt white. BigGrin

Thanks for looking in, have a great weekend and happy modelling!

Regards,
Phil W. BigGrin

Lovely work as usual Phil, all looks so different once the paint goes on.
Not surprising you have run out of paint, the size of it. ThumpUp
