[QUOTE="trekriffic, post: 5245045, member: 13894"] So into the loo we go... I finished the lavatory following what I could make out from the blueprints. The floor of the lower deck will need some more work to get rid of the swirls and brushstrokes left by the gloss varnish: [ATTACH=full]1507070[/ATTACH] [url=https://flic.kr/p/2mvHUDS]Jupiter 2 - Rework- Lower Deck Lavatory[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/29607470@N08/]Steve J[/url], on Flickr Nice view of the sink and toilet.
