Bottom Hull Paint - The Mask
After a few days past, it was time to finish the hull paint. one more aspect needed to be added to the hull, and that was the mask on the bow. I started this session with putting the front glass in the pilot house. the front and the molding I had cemented on around the structure was painted with lacquer.
It has quite a nice shine, considering that I used a semi-gloss. it was time for the final paint for the hull, and after masking it up.......down it went again! I used a gloss for this.....originally, I was going to use a flat, but this is the upper hull and I had made the definition of the surfaces with the gloss / flat combination. again, I have a little touching up to do, but it came out very well.
Not doing a fitting would have left this session incomplete. it really defines the bow. once all the touch ups are done, I can finally move on. there won't be a need for fittings, because anything put on the deck from then on.........will be permanent!
