    More learning:
    1. Wood absorbs a lot of paint.
    2. Airbrushes are good but they go through paint FAST.

    If your wood is absorbing a lot of paint, you haven't sealed it well enough.

    West System or other really good epoxies are your friend.

    Did some 3d rendering of the bridge and the support structure items and painted some netting. Look close you can see the rope

    The shapeways lights I have were...just ok. I designed my own and I think they'll look better.

    Rafts paddles and brackets complete. They’re not perfect but pretty good.

    Ran into an issue - hatches don’t match and there’s a gap. Time to fire up the 3d printer.
    Railings needed on the bridge and needing extended supports.

    Painting a bit. You can see the printed price that filled the gap nicely and the hatches are now changed over

    Wasn’t happy with the gap. Filled. Next sanding and respray. Hope I have enough paint left.
