The hull is very white and still a bit of rubbing down, another coat and clear lacquer to go.
I am restoring a pond yacht, built by my grandfather , James Melville and a Mr. Ingram in Tayport, Scotland, in the early 1930s. The hull is 55 inches long x 13 inches at it's widest point ( beam ). The mast is 62 inches tall and the boom is 33 inches long. She weighs 26lb. The measurements and weight and classic lines are consistent with a classic 6 Metre yacht design, popular with model yacht builders in the 1930s.

Painting the hull
I'm painting an all white hull as is Ravic restored by Robert Hobbs. The glass finish is good but still needs a bit more work, so more sanding to do and another coat. I removed the masking from the deck because I won't be painting again for a few days, I'll re-mask with fresh tape and paper.
