This past weekend has been working on the deck for the main part of the ship, cutting and sanding it until I had a clean tight fit. Following that it was then down to adding the filler and adding the edging strip all the way around before blending it in with the paintwork.

All that’s left now is to check for blemishes, a quick tidy up and a spray of clear lacquer over the paintwork and deck to help protect it from damage.
