Oyster 82' Model close to finishing. Her hull is cherry planked over bulkheads, which was then epoxy resin coated. Upper structure is built from a combination of quality plywoods and walnut, as are the keel and rudder. The plywoods help prevent warping but also have the added benefit of 'seeing symmetry' while being shaped. Her main windows and hatches are transparent 'limo-black'.
Shown below is the model while being painted, the upper-structure in gloss white and the hull in blue. In the image below you can see the dual helm, mast and boom as they are being fitted to the model.
