Hi Guys,
I could do with a quick answer to this as I really want to get on with it in the morning if possible..
I have to make 2 boats for my Lady T....At a scale of 1 to 32 they are about 5 inches long. having given it much thought I decided to make a plug from balsa wood, (see picture) and then cover this with various layers of newspaper, covered in watered down pva wood glue, before planking the hull in a clinker fashion with thin wooden strips or masking tape, not decided which yet.
Apart from the fact that this idea may be stupid and fail I do not know how to finish the plug in such a way as to make it easily removable from the hull. I was going to finish it with sanding sealer before sanding it very smooth but after that, I have no idea...
Any help would be much appreciated...
