Day 10: Painting the bottom part of the hull

Part of the lower half of the hull was painted using red anti-fouling paint.
Anti fouling paint  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-fouling_paint is used to stop barnacles and other sea organisms clinging to the ship, this would make it less efficient in the water.

This is a large area to paint so I will use an airbrush. I've not used one before so fingers crossed!

The hull masked off, ready for painting

Airbrush ready to go!

Finished!

After drying I removed the masking tape. I'm very pleased with the results :)

Detail around the rudder

A good clean line and nice even coat of paint, just what I wanted!
