Hi all,

I would like to share photos of my Mystery build progress.

I'm building it from summer, but I did not have so much time last few months, so progress is slow. But I think finishing is near:)

Now I wait for some time to glass also the deck. I also thinking about paint some text below the glass (around sitting place), have you some recommends what type of painting to use that will do fine with epoxy and wood?

I also seeking for some varnish, I dont have much experiences with that. I have read some info here on the forum and did not find something suitable that can be ordered here in Europe. With airplane models Im used to just polish the epoxy (it is lighter than adding some extra layer), but it seems to be better add some varnish, even if it only protects from UV.

So I will be thankful for your tips:)

Robert.
