Looking good. Yes the lack of doors could be a safety issue on the full size boats? Cheers Ian ๐

Hi Chris, here are a couple of examples of other rails I've done using the same method. I was going to use the jig I used on the cabin jet boat rear cabin roof for the Stiletto, but I put them somewhere safe so I wouldn't lose them, and we all know what happens then !๐

That's a great idea for making the handrails JB. I've got quite a few to make for my various builds and wasn't looking forward to but a jig will be a great help.
For my modified Stiletto/Rapier I was only going to do a quick build, unlike my Faireys, but seeing how nice yours is looking I may have to rethink that and add some detail! ▲

Thanks Roy, normally a good idea, but I don't usually have any trouble if it's all Acrylic or enamel. The problem I think was the cold, and that the acrylic and varnish didn't agree. The acrylic would have melted a varnish seal anyhow, as it would have been varnish on varnish on an edge in this case. If it had been a nice hot sunny day, the acrylic would have flashed off in about 20 seconds and sealed the edge and the fumes would not have had time to penetrate across the tape.
Would have been smarter to do the acrylic first, then the varnish, then no problem, but the cold was slowing my brain down ๐ JB ▲

I do not know if this helps but when I mark out painting with tape, I paint a thin varnish along the masking tape and leave to dry.
This seals off the paint below from being got at by the paint above and easily comes away when tape removed for finishing. Roy ▲

Looking really good JB and progressing well. Approaching the finishing line but all those bits and pieces and details always take a long time.

You are an artist with exacting skills. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of artwork with us. Most people donโt even have any idea what work is required to achieve such an accomplishment.
Itโs just another example of your ability to create something meaningful. ▲

I can't fault your financial calculations!
Stiletto is coming along nicely - the spray rails certainly add to the design and I remember they are very effective in use. ▲
