filling sanding and start of bulwark stiffeners and capping

yesterday and today filled small imperfections
around deck edges with p38 filler.
did same with running gear.




noticed after removing cramps and ticky tape holding down
foredeck that aft deck had sagged in way of store rooms.
tried jacking up from keel but to no avail. with winch fitted don't think it will show. caused by having to pinch hull in to width of foredeck??





today cut out stiffeners and bulwark capping. made a jig to hold stiffeners in position and vertical the glued with a drop of cyo.
fitted stem capping and sanded flush with hull. also cut out
spaces for fairleads. wil finnish bow tomorrow and make a start
on afterdeck bulwarks. hull work will then be completed and ready for priming and topcoats. am using acrylic waterbased satin paint applied with airbrush and spraygun. expect primer to reveal many small blemishes which will need filling and sanding.
having great difficulty with auto focus when taking pics. must be cos it's all white.
