Hi Trevor. Yes I will be painting my victory. I will also be copper bottoming my victory. I think this will be my next task. I am thinking of spray painting lower hull with white water thinned paint to seal it then copper over top of the white. At the moment my victory build is at a stage where I can work on the bottom by attaching to build board by wood and dowl into the mast holes to hold it firm whilst coppering. Ian.

Hi Ian, Just been all the way through your diary and as a new starter to the Victory build I have learnt an awful lot. Some of the things I have learnt are obviously at what has been other people`s problems, but guess that`s what the forums all about. Hope I can eventually help people in the same way. Keep the diary going it`s looking really good and can`t wait to see the copper. Regards Delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
