| This is how it is looking towards the end of January 2002. At this stage I have given it a coat of varnish to help me to sand it to a finer finish. I will now virtually sand all of the varnish away, to see exactly where the imperfections are and fill and smooth to the best finish I can get, before painting it in its correct colours. I have started organising the masts and bowsprit and am about to start assembling the deck fittings. There is still a very long way to go though! | |||

I have now sanded the hull right back to the wood - using a compressed-air sander, and am about to use filler to get a good finish. It turned out better than I expected after the sanding. I am using the lathe to turn out new masts as the ones supplied are nothing like the plans. The decking has split so I will be replacing that by individually planking it.

This is the model after the first time of sanding using a sand-block, but it wasn't man enough to do the job properly. | ||

The red thing is the air-sander which I used to strip all the varnish off, and it worked very well. It is normally used for wet & dry sand paper finishing on car bodies. It has a very soft cushion designed to take all the curves on a car and ideally suited for the model's hull. | ||
