                        cool!
                        the sanding and filling's almost done, except for a couple of "simulated" nicks hear and there.
                        I got too tired of sanding and just left them be, but it still looks like battle damage, as they are not humongo ones.
                        I'm on to the assembly of the deck and goodies of the top of the cabin.
                        It'll be finished soon!

                        I use the bottle kind, but for gap filling, I use the tube, as my putty doesn't have that good of a filling characteristic

                        that might work

                        so the smilies are manual.
                        a lot of putty and emery boards went into the misfits.
