As I am a newbie to this craft, I am trying to gather as much information as I can before I open the box and start the kit (it is somewhere mid-Atlantic arriving late next week).
Does one put the kit together first (gluing parts in place), then stain parts that need it, paint the hull (in my case it is ABS white from the box), then varnish where needed at the end?
The big question is — do I stain the deck pieces before gluing or after. Do I paint the hull before I put the "superstructure" on it? Thanks - probably a real newbie question? Building a Krick Borkum kit. D.
