After some wailing and gnashing of teeth, Bumbo's name is now sportily emblazoned on the port quarter, using a stencil cut by Matt's brother Paul. First attempt on the starboard side came out a bit smeary after paint oozed under the stencil:
Sure, it has a cool, Halloweeny effect, but it's still a botch. Our friend Graham, who helped do it right on the port side, says it shouldn't be too hard to fix, however.
The port side was done by using a marker to trace the lettering from the stencil, then Matt and Graham (reviewing his work below) painted in the outline. The result: Way more better.
For you graphics geeks, that's 504 point Hultog, small caps, at 10 point expanded spacing -- the font of terror on the high seas.
Unless you're planning on painting the entire hull of that thing pitch black, I might want to buy the rest of that can paint off of you -- 'cos that stuff was way dope.
