SCAMP #434 Build - August Progress Report

With cottage and cycling time not a lot of forward progress on old #434.  All the 'big pieces" now in place so it is all about the filling, fairing and sanding.

Roof was trimmed and glassed.  The ramp for the mast step was slightly proud of the roof so this was faired in.  Aft deck also glassed for good measure.

Ended off the month with one coat of Interlux Brightsides Pre-Kote primer on all the topsides.  It is a darker grey than I imagined but it does a great job of prepping the surface for paint and highlighting areas that could use a little more filling and fairing.
