After walking the dog it was time to get a bit more done on Double Trouble today.

Motors & electronics were removed (yet again) just to make life a little easier.

The lower hull was then spotted, sanded and cleaned (several times) ready for primer tomorrow. I will only need to paint to the waterline as the gel coat finish on the rest of the hull is very good and after a bit of effort cleaning today she looks like new.

In between spotting & sanding I managed to get some of the vinyl lettering done (to replace the paper signs that have been in place temporarily  since August 2013 – not bad for paper, ink-jet printed & covered with clear tape).

First time I’ve tried double printing (two colours) and whilst it came out OK it really was a lot of fiddling to get right .

Ah, the joys of modelling.
