Hi Chris, Coming along very nicely and a very neat job for your first wooden construction.

For me you can use either a sealing primer or, if the wood is a good enough finish simply a Halfords car body cellulose primer. Rub it back with Wet and Dry, fill in all imperfections etc. and then another coat of primer. On top of that you can either spray car body cellulose paint or paint Humbrol enamels out of the tin or sprayed. it all depends on the type of finish you are after but certainly the car body spray cans are very easy and convenient.

Did you ever get to the Kirklees Model Boat club? Well worth a Sunday morning out if ever you fancy it. I'm away until the end of April but when I'm back we have a day out at Mountfleet models on the 3rd May and then it is the Harrogate Model Engineering Show the weekend after, well worth a visit.
