Making of the mould was done from a picture no plans are available. Me and a friend gave lots of time and patience to end up with a very realistic hull. length 56inc.
You can see by the pictures above. I have started decking and ribbing to give the hull strength and fitted forward deck. I had to cut out the stern for the trawl doors and trawl shoot.
Drilled all 76 holes and fitted rubbing strakes primed hull ready for filling and standing. made core nozzle/seg and fitted shaft. I'm having to use a lot of guess work on this model because I have no plans as such.
I have fitted out the wheelhouse with detail and placed bridge top.
Nearly finished just figures and some detail.
