Well, the stern is done to the best of my ability. Not perfect, but I’m happy with it. Moved outside to spray a light clear coat over ornament.
All the colours pop out in the sunshine John.I was shocked when you said you took the model outside for clearcoat,then after giving myself a shake,I realised you in Texas and I am in Yorkshire

Can’t sleep. Fabricated and attached hull steps on port side. Used white glue, as you can see. Not dry yet!
Starboard done 
Well, much to my horror, I installed these steps incorrectly. Thank goodness I used white glue! All cleaned up and corrected.
