    001.jpgThe bottom of the hull painted. The top will be red and black with a metalic clearcoat. Hopefully there are no mishaps.

        Looking good!
        If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

          Tomorrow looks like a good day for painting. Hopefully will have the first colour on the top and finish the hatch.

            I'll be raking leaves, and think I'll make a list of stuff I need to get before spring, hoping there are still some 48"x12" sheets of 1/16 ply in Lakefield, I'll probably order a bunch more anyway,also need some 1/32 for wood over foam build projects, also need some more epoxy before I start anything new.

              Red paint done. In a couple days I will mask it off and do the black down the center part. In the mean time I will be finishing up the hatch.

                I decided to go ahead and take a chance on spraying the second colour for the top, running out of good painting weather quickly. Luckily it went ok. With some stripes and nice shiny clearcoat it shouldnt look too bad.

                    001.jpg The metalic clearcoat on. You can get a hint of the sparkle in the pic but nothing like the real thing. Starting to fit everything together. Should be a go for launch this weekend.

                                Man, from anything I've seen, you do some nice work. I'm sure that hatch will work out eventually.
