Foamie Update




Just a quick post to show progress on the double-ender/egg/hull-inspired fun board.

These pictures are already not current - the nose looks a lot better courtesy of a microplane surform and the tail has also been thinned out a bit.

There was a patch of outer crust that I had to take off with a full on rasp (just behind the nose on the top deck) but that is gone now too.

I'll hit it with 60 grit screen today to take down scratches from the rasp and fair in the rails (a few high points that need to come down), and follow it up with 120 and 200+.

I'm thinking tan base coat with darker brown lateral stripes for the paint job this time - desert cammie tiger shark...

For the fins - Rusty C5 sides with a finbox in the middle.

More to follow
