I did fibreglass the hull with Eze Kote and a very light sheet of silk like material. I didn't take any photos at the time, but it was a very easy process to do.

"I think you will find using EZY KOTE a joy to use with glass fiber."
I like it Daveπ Saved my bacon (and nose) restoring the hulls of an ancient Billing Boats fish cutter and an ELCO PTB. Diluted with water it also makes a great wood sealer, hardener/stabiliserπ Can't understand the problems others have reported having with it! Each to his own taste (or sense of smellπ) I suppose.

Funny, during one of my occasional sleepless nights last night I was looking at your build log and wondering when we might see some more. Fantastic progress and lovely work, well done. I, for one, am looking forward to more.
I had forgotten this was an old kit but if anyone is interested I believe I spotted the drawing on Aerofred. Ian π Like

This is the third model that I have made that has a planked hull, first was a static model of a Danish old cargo sailing vessel, second was a RIVA speedboat. This ARTUR is an old kit that was in someones loft for years and never been built so I am giving it life! All the best with yours.

Hi Dave
Mighy fine Lookinβ Artur. Doing a great job. Is this your first? Artur was the boat that I had planned to build, but βchanged horsesβ and chose NAXOS. I am rather happy I did that because it provides a build blog for each fishing boat type. I sort of wish now that I had a bit more experience In planking, because I now see how it all fits together and with better glue (cyano) I think I could a better job. All the best to you in your build, and I am looking forward to see the final product. Cheers π Like

You're right Daveπ
A Czech company. The model is of a Norwegian fishing boat and I believe that the building instructions are in German and Norwegian only. Can't help you with Norwegian but if you get stuck I can translate from the German for you. There's some vids of building and sailing her on You Tube; e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfuZGBvMk2g https://www.google.com/search?q=Igra+Artur&client=firefox-b-d&ei=g-IOX8vKM4bzkwWIr5qQBw&start=0&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwiLmOH-jc_qAhWG-aQKHYiXBnI4ChDy0wN6BAgLEDI&biw=1920&bih=949 I'm sure there's been a previous Blog/Thread about this boat on this site as well!? BTW: the flags at the top of the box lid are the International Signal Flags for ARTURπ Cheers, Doug π π Like
