I just wanted to tell you that when I saw the picture of the boat my first reaction was"What a beautiful boat, look at the details and the great precision in the strips, nice design carried out well. I am in the process of making my first S & G kit and you are an insipiration. So give your self a little slack, and let the rest of us know some of your secrets.!!!!
