Yves, the need to cover the hull of the model with fiberglass and epoxy resin of static models is the result of the experience of previous generations of ship modelers. 1) If you leave the hull unprotected, then, as a result of the effects of moisture and temperature changes on the wood, the contours of the wooden slats of the sheathing will appear through the layer of paint 2) For hardened epoxy resin, fiberglass plays the role of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structures. Without fiberglass, the hardened epoxy resin will gradually crack and peel off from the hull.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
