Default RE: 21

Well, at the moment my container ship has some planking drying on it and I gave this hull another coat of the filler mixture I thinned. In the mean time I put one of my project motorbikes back together in the humid weather and nearly sweat my entire body weight off. After that the hull was ready to sand and it came up near perfect except for the bigger dents, which have just been filled with a thicker mixture of filler. Just has to be sanded back when dry, another coat of filler mixture and a final sanding before its ready to prime.

I'll have a look at some pictures of ships that would suit it, but I would love an classic fishing boat. either way the hull will either be airbrushed if its metal, or veneered in strips if its a wood hull.
