Making mistakes - the greatest learning tool?
Colour? White initially, then perhaps red oxide or black under the water line. Think the rubbing strake will black, but that’s all along way off. A few coats of white and lots of rubbing down will be needed first.
Next task, the rudder and operation via a servo.

I'm with you on this one Andy.
The beauty of boat modelling is that if you make a mistake or want to change the boat you can. And at only a mere fraction of the cost of the real thing, and cheaper than a round of golf ! 😉

Very good AndyB2, you can consider yourself satisfied, the hull turned out well.
You did very well to reinforce it with resin, I'm curious to see what color it will be.

So I'm glad that Dutch barges do not have a varnish finish, such as a classic carvel built yacht. Some sanding and Isopon P38 meant the hull was reasonably "fair". However, the planking is only 1.5mm thick, so added a layer of glass fibre tissue with West Epoxy. Once cured this was sanded smooth, with some smaller marks filled with P38, before a final sand. An initial coat of thinned varnish has now been applied. The plan is to give a few more coats before another fine sand. The hull will be finally painted - not certain what colour yet.

Hi Andy, every modeler has some jobs that they prefer less. I especially like the first part, the project and the hull, but there are parts that bore me a bit, especially the repetitive ones.
If you don't want to do the second planking, don't worry, this is already very good.

Hi Rossm thanks for that video on planking, watched it twice all grist for the mill!
I use cocktail sticks for wood nails (trenails) with a bit of PVA glue on them and hammer them in. Mainly on mast repairs and they work a treat.
Also bamboo skewers are a good source and cheap as well.

I assume a second layer of planking may smooth things out but it seems reasonable at the moment and with some sanding and filler it should be ok. To be honest, I found the planking a little frustrating and not my greatest pleasure - so one layer will have to do !
Thanks for the video Ross - interesting but the challenge on a Dutch barge (or similar) is the bow, where the planks have to bend round 90 degrees, as the bow has the cross-section of a football, rather than a fine cutting edge, as found on a classic J class yacht.

If it makes you feel any better, I had a lot of fairing and filling to do
