The Shape of Things to Come

It’s really hard getting a photo of this boat that adequately conveys the nice shape it’s got…the perspective makes it look different in a 2D image. This image isn’t all that great but it’s the best perspective I’ve been able to come up with.
Using some glazing putty, I filled a couple other minor pin holes and scratches, wetsanded, and sprayed another coat of primer on it. Hopefully, that will be the last coat of primer. Some quick wetsanding tomorrow night, and I can start to apply some color and finish coats. It’s unbelievable how much sanding is required of something even this small to get a really really nice faired finish. When my patience starts wear thin, I just keep thinking about how every pin hole and scratch will show up in every boat that comes out of the mold. A little diligence here will go a long way in the future.
