Boat stand

This is just the best boat to make a stand for, ever. No messing around cutting curves for the hull, just put a slot in a couple of bits of wood and let the incredibly deep keel take the strain.

To be honest this job should have been done ages ago but you know how it is.

Anyway the next job is to start painting. After much digging around in Model Boats mags to see how other people had painted their boats, I’ve decided to go with a red oxide bottom and mid green top. The waterline will have to be marked, hence the need for a stand to hold the model level while I try and draw a line.
