I've been sidetracked by a lot of household projects but am still slowly plugging away.

The hole has been filled in and sanded smooth. Need to fill in a small void. Also just about building up the chipped edges too. Hope to have some primer on it soon then I'll have to decide on a color. Leaning towards a pale green like the original example shown below.
