I completed The Chaperon this week, my third model. Not perfect by any means, but I'm more than happy with it. Many postings on the SOS forum were very helpful. Thank you everyone.

Hello. Your Chaperon looks great. Congrats. Question. How did you treat the many window panes on the boat? I’ve used clear acetate. At this point I’m struggling between leaving them clear or painting the back panes an opaque or washed out black. (might make them pop a bit) Your thoughts, suggestions, etc. might point me in the right direction Best, Rick, Davidson NC
