Hi Colin, sorry to hear that you have not been able to get on with things recently. Very understandable, we all know you have a lot to worry about at the moment. However, you are making some progress on your boat which is better than nothing and at least it gives you something else to think about. The pictures look good and you are obviously getting on well. Hope you are keeping as well as possible, love and best wishes to Caroline.
All the best, Nerys

Good evening all, I've been unable to model for a while for various reasons, but have made a little progress the last few days.
The hull has been sealed, filled and sanded, and then sealed again with Ezekote, now on to the glass cloth application with Ezekote.
Leaving overnight to harden off before trimming and giving another 2 coats of Ezekote.
App not letting me upload pictures again, will try with laptop tomorrow.
Cheers for now Colin.

Hi Colin
You can see some pictures on the link and also some original photos. The plan supplied is only a sideview and top view it is in the instructions that you pick it up and the kit comes with 4 portholes.👍👍
