    Still looks good, the second coat has a deeper resonance.  Will look lovely slipping along afloat.

    That's a first coat over white primer. The 2nd coat will be darker. Hopefully friday.

    I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get to this stage, but first top coat on one side.

    Sanding progresses, and one side of the hull is almost done. Just two small patches to go. I have been using the random orbital sander for most of it but I have had to use the belt sander on a few stubborn bits. Using the belt sander requires a very zen headspace...a slip in concentration and you've gouged the ply.

    Just letting you know...

    I ain't dead, and neither is the project. I just had a few other things in life to take care off, and today is way too miserable to do sanding. :)

    Michelangelo took a long time to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.  I'm sure Redwing II will be just as beautiful when you finish.

    At least she will float now. The bottom panel is finally glued on. :)
