Paint Problems!

TillyMay is in wet dock look very sad. After a closer look at her paint it was decided that the micro-blisters under the paint could only be sorted properly by going back to metal. It turned out the original paint was applied to a damp surface and each of the micro-blisters contained rust. Fortunately only a fine layer and no pitting but what a job for the chaps to do. So the poor girl sits in wet dock with all the windows and brass removed pained in battleship grey. Ha Ho, it had to be done and better now so she will be at her best when we depart in May. I will post some photos latter.
