This turned out to be almost a harder job to paint than to build.  I went together very quickly (we worked within the school schedule of 4 x 45 minutes plus 1 x 75 minute block.   We learned, first and foremost, that if you are nor going to do a carefully neat job with the epoxy fillets, you'd better be resigned to a lot of  rasping and sanding in tight places.

Nevertheless, it came out looking pretty good and is a nice little boat. This is a 'stitch-and-glue' kit from Chesapeake Light Craft.

The boat behind is, of course, one of our skin-on-frame boats with a silver-grey acid dye, coated with the Skinboat Store's 2-part polyurethane and ash rub rails.
