    For 60 plus years I have a very keen builder of Model Warships from scratch. In total I have built 14 such models of mainly British ships. In my opinion the most accurate of these models at 1:120 are HMS Belfast, HMS Chatham and HMS Euryalus.

    📝 Fibreglassing a wooden hull

    Hi,
    I'm building a plank on frame motor sailor (Mantua Bruma) and I'm wondering whether to fibreglass over the hull to waterproof. This is something I haven't done before. Therefore my questions are:-
    1)What ounce of fibre glass matting do you need to buy?
    2) What is the best resin to use in UK?
    3) Where is best to get these from in UK?
    4) Do you try to apply a complete sheet of matting and if so how do you avoid kinks on the curves?
    5) Do you apply resin to the hull first and then lay the matting on?
    6) Do you then apply the resin on top of the matting?
    Thanks for reading my queries
    Cheers Duncan
