No title yet, but it's a boat

Yes, I can see it - "Luverly, ain't she"? And that detail in green is what I meant by a "stitched" weld. A deep penetrative weld at the join, followed by a running stitch across the joint to finish - VERY strong by all accounts. They usually just nibble the surface with an angle grinder to clean it up: But in this instance I would suggest just a quick swipe, and then a couple of coats of sticky hull blacking.

I reckon all you had to do was a dribble of poly cement to soften it - emboss with a file or the like for effect, and chuck some gobby paint at it - job wuz'a good 'un I'd say!

Please feel free to needle me when I'm struggling!

Nice job! The grimy, oily glop looks perfect.

Well for the first time in a while actually enjoying the painting stages , maybe because it seems to be working so far ........... Famous last words!

Engine room/bay is finished, note use of that word





Now started on the wheelhouse, for a derelict think I am happy so far with the look





The pics show some areas that need clean up and a bit of tweaking.

So as someone famous once said KBO

OK Archer weld lines applied, with some adjustments to previous run of plates  and attempts at weathering hull

So progress and paint does continue ;)
