In other news the poll for the name of this fine vessel is closing soon. There is a leader at the moment but only YOU can decide the final name!
So, the boat. Apart from a name it's finished. I decided a dazzle scheme was the way ahead and then I was dazzled by the large number of schemes available. Some were too outlandish even for HSH The Grand Tarboosh; this may come as a shock to those of you who witnessed the eccentric horror that was The Watchtower. A fairly subdued scheme was finally chosen. I marked the angles and straight lines with a ruler and pencil. I then tried my very best to maintain those straight lines with a paint brush. Maybe something smaller than a 4" brush might be more helpful next time*.
*There will not be a next time.
Enough waffling you want pictures! Well, I can help you there:
Updates as they happen!
Just sensational, I've really enjoyed catching up with the project. As for a name, how about 'Bumblebee'?
