Your pictures are great. That is all I need. I know I can figure it out from the plans, but seeing your pictures makes it that much easier.

I have been way too busy with work, but can't complain; these days it is good to have work.

I have not started but may start tomorrow.

What type of boat are you working on? I passed up a chance to go sailing tomorrow - haven't been in years.

Regarding covering my only experience is with Ultracote and Monocote. Ultracote worked well for me and I struggled more with monocote. I didn't know that anyone used anything else except on scale models.
