I would like to join with this if I might, according to Scalemates the kit was first released in 1979,

This will be a first for me as I have never built a sailing vessel of any kind before, so I'm not too sure how this will end...🙄

What an interesting and unusual subject!

 

There's a phrase that crops up again and again in this Group Build.

 

The artwork on the box would make me want one.

 

Enjoy the build. I'll enjoy watching.

 

Tony.

The basic hull is together and I have started the paint work with he wood tones on the hull and deck parts to start. These are all done with inexpensive acrylic craft paints following am example I saw on Youtube.  I am pleased with how they turned out

They have been given a coat of gloss to protect them for the time being and to prepare for follow on painting and weathering.

Before painting the lower hull, I applied a layer of hairspray along the stern post, keel and bow, as well as the rudder. The waterline was masked off and the lower hull was painted with a mixture of Tamiya XF-10 brown and X-7 red. When that had dried I sprayed on a light coat of water and added some sea salt for a go at using the salt as a mask for further weathering; of course I could just leave it and call it an infestation of barnacles :P We'll have to see how it turns out!
