Wow....you did have a busy day!
The end result is really excellent, I had to scroll back through your blog to remind myself what it started from. You should post a few 'before and after' photos to show the transformation. ππ Rob. π Like

Thanks for that a lot of people worry that you cant sand or file plasticard but its not true, its a great material and cheap as you don't need sanding sealer etc.
Ive added a link to a good book on the subject. https://evergreenscalemodels.com/products/14-how-to-book Cheers π Like

Just an fyi....if you are also looking for the "Best" putty around this is it. stains, sands, paints like wood. Does not shrink or crack. You can order through Walmart of all places.

Seems like sheβs coming along pretty well. You did the right thing by redoing the window sections with thin ply. Iβve had a few rc airplanes years ago that were given to me that were βworn outβ, you just canβt be afraid to cut bad wood out and work new wood back in. Youβre doing a good job!!

A picture is worth a thousand words thanks, I've wondered if the boat was fitted with bilge keels?
