and if continued by filling and painting you will get a glass like finish,
so you have to determine how far to go,lovely job so far.well done. You're right Carl I think I saw it on your Black Pearl Build. since I started I might just as well go the distance and finish it properly

A quick update on where I got to over the weekend: After getting a fair bit of sanding done:  I saw a couple of uneven spots and holes left by the removal of the nails and proceeded to fill them with wood-filler    Now to sand some more

Gerrit: Quite a large amount of elbow grease, and there is still a little bit to do. Jonny, Hans, Mike: Thanks gentlemen- I trust that the effort will be well spent. That is the good (and the bad) thing about painting the hull - you can't stop until it's done. Tom: After seeing all the hulls that have been copper tiled, I would love to, but the tiles aren't offered in South Africa. I'll be painting unless I can convince 15 or so members to send me the tiles that they did not use

When you say A4 card, is it A4 paper? (Sorry for not knowing the correct term)
