Thanks, everyone! I had spent the morning coming to the same conclusion.

I remember with my first build (8 years ago) enjoying least this final phase, partly because I set myself impossibly high standards of finishing off. And of course a boat gets used, scuffed etc. It's the showroom mentality, which doesn't have anything to do with what's-that-nice-word-meaning-sailing-in-and-out-of-inlets (from the US East coast I believe). At least this time round this boat (Swallowboats Trouper 12) will have good tough coats of two-pack on, which will be relatively ding-resistant. And it is looking quite nice, though I says so myself.

Your collective sense of proportion much needed and much appreciated. I'm glad your project has gone well too, Brian.
