Hello Colin,
the bow and stern are each made up from 7x 19mm thick balsa sections sandwiched together, glued and dowelled to the main hull, which is made up from 3x 3/8 sheets. The sanding is going well however i just want to make the finish a little better. Not looking for a 'as new' overall finish as it was a working barge so i guess that it was knocked around a bit in its time!
regards
chris

Hello All,
i have made good progress over the weekend on the hull and i have started to sand and shape both the bow and stern. My question is if i need to use any filler, what would you recommend?
thanks

Hello Colin,
Spot on! that's what i (hopefully) will end up with!
I am also going to build one of the cargo barges so that i have something to tow. The cargo barge is detailed on the same plan so rude not to have a go at building that as well.

Hello All,
I am getting back into model boats after stumbling across a box of rc model boat plans at a boot sale. £10 later and 87 model boat plans were mine!👍 After looking at them when i got home i have decided to have a go at building the Frank Rayner Barge as it looks to be a straight forward build (hopefully).
I will post pics of the build (starting this weekend). Any advice would be welcome to assist me along the way..
kind regards
chris
