I have done the inside of the hull with fibreglass and resin and the outside has been filled,sanded and then 6coats of ezecote deluxe resin and finally 2 coats of primer ready for topcoat so I hope it is strong and waterproof

If the model is going to be a model that will be sailed on water, may i suggest that you consider coating the hull with fibre glass. I have used this method on my fleet of eleven R/C scratch built scale model warships over the past 47 years. The models remain intact and waterproof.

Love the planking, shame to hide it under paint.
Cheers Colin. ▲
