Hello again! First of all i want to thank you Rich, Elia, Avsjerome2003, Lawrence , Nils, GuntherMT, Wackowolf , Edmay, Puckotred, SimonV, Brian, Captainslog, Tasmanian and Aussie048 for your likes and for visiting my build log. Elia and Nils, I had in mind to use fiberglass and resin to recreate the metal hull of the ship (it's the first time I'm using this type of material) and make the construction even more solid. I have read about this technique in some blogs and forums and it was recommended in order to avoid future hairline fractures. Any suggestions or comments regarding this approach? Thank you in advance.

Some progress to the build. The deck and hull planking are finished. The next step is to fill some gaps on the hull with some filler , sanding and cover it up with fiber glass. Cheers Dimitris
