  1. It is better to impregnate paper with cyacrine glue, but several layers are needed for good strength. I wish you success in your experiments!
  2. The rules for painting fishing vessels also include an option with a black freeboard. But to my taste the gray color looks more attractive.
  3. If I understand you correctly, on trawlers there was a wooden flooring only in the deck area where they directly worked with the fish catch.
  4. If you cover the case with only one layer of epoxy resin without reinforcing it with any material, then after drying the resin will crack and fall off the case. If you cannot work with fiberglass, then it can be replaced with ordinary loose fabric like a medical bandage or gauze. But for epoxy resin, a reinforcement layer is required.
  5. David! The ships of the USSR fishing fleet were painted according to their own rules. I am attaching a file with a painting scheme for trawlers. It is taken from a document entitled “Rules for painting vessels of the USSR fishing industry fleet” approved by the USSR Ministry of Fisheries on 08.28.69.
  6. David, if you don't coat your hull with a layer of fiberglass and epoxy resin, it's likely to warp and crack. Putty will not be able to protect him from this process.
  7. Hello David! This shrimp trawler was built according to Project 1329 in a single copy. It was called "Krevetka" (in Russian this is shrimp). https://rybflot.com/rybolovnyj-flot-sssr/dobyvayushhie-suda/malotonnazhnye/malyj-krevetkolovnyj-trauler-morozilnyj-tipa-krevetka-proekt-1329/ https://rybflot.com/wp-content/uploads/MKTM-tipa-Krevetka.pdf Eight more ships of this type were built a little later according to Project 1336 (Omar type). https://rybflot.com/rybolovnyj-flot-sssr/dobyvayushhie-suda/malotonnazhnye/malyj-krevetkolovnyj-trauler-morozilnyj-tipa-omar-proekt-1336/ Initially, these ships were built for a customer from Kuwait, but it turned out that he was insolvent and they were subsequently completed for the USSR Ministry of Fisheries.
  8. Thanks Gary! Wood is an unusual material for me, so I spend more time on it than on brass.
  9. Thank you all for your kind reviews and likes! I continue making wooden parts for the model. The photo shows the cargo hatch cover.
  10. The vacuum cleaner is always next to me. I have already developed a conditioned reflex and at the first opportunity, after completing one or another operation, I turn on my electric assistant.
  11. These intricacies of pipes are simply crazy! I will never build a tanker model. Great job, Roel! ✌️
