Hi Reid

So far, I spent 1 and a 1/2. And this was just for the hull. Before that, I had also spent a couple of Vallejo acrillic filler tubes.
I�m using Vallejo for large filling work and Tamiya for finer/final work.

Hi Jose, Sorry I have not replied for quite awhile, the build is looking good, there are days when all you do is sand, but remember its only getting better. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1:
Simple but effective.

Does he ??? I thought that he used 2-component, marine-grade epoxi resin on his hulls. I must check his work, back again... :woo_hoo:

Hi Jose,

Very nice work and glad to see you're back at it!

One thing I didn't see you mention earlier is the method you use to attach the styrene to the hull. Do you use styrene cement to anchor the styrene sheets to the stand-off strips?

Keep up the great work! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
