Need some paint advice. Is there a difference between primer and flat white paint? Want to prime/paint Bluenose hull with a base coat of white so that I can have a white base for the hull stripe. I think it will also show me where I need additional sanding/filling. Your opinions will, as usual, be appreciated.

Hi Dennis -
I would suggest Winsor-Newton brand "GALERIA" acrylic paint applied directly from the tube . Easily obtained from most art supply/ craft stores . Excellent paint for wooden ship models .

I got a can of spray white primer from Home Depot. After sanding and spraying a second coat it provided a nice base for the hull stripe. This method was recommended by the Lauck Street praticum and worked nicely for me.

Well, between cutting the grass, Honey-Do projects and lounging in the pool with a rum & coke I managed to finish the Bluenose cabin. (open in a blank window) (open in a blank window)

Nice work. Never mind the pool; Did you give your duckies some of the rum?

Been a way for a while, and just getting caught up.
Great job on the cabin.
