MinI version of cult model In SK CZ -Fisher Boat ARTUR

On last modeler meeting my brother please me if I can built him some RC Boat.
He was excited by my Fisher boat Naxos.
So it was on me to find some plans for fisher boat.
I remember on plans of old Norwegian fisher boat model called ARTUR.
It's cult model in Czech and Slovak republic 😀 .
Standard length of this model is around 65 cm.
For better manipulation and transporting I mus make shorter version.
So I remake the plans and now I start built model with 41 cm length.
I hope you will enjoy the build with me.

Today I cover the hull with planks. I fix it with fast glue.
When the hull will be done I coat inner side with epoxy.

progress...

from last update I make some progress in build.
After coating inner side with epoxy, I cover the deck with planks. Then I sand the deck and cut the holes for superstructures and service access. Then I finish the sides planking and start with superstructures. On last photo you can see the wires for position light on front mast. I cut two grooves on sides of mast and then I stick in two wires with glue and putty. After sanding its almost invisible.
(guys sorry for my English 😁 , if you see some errors just let me know 😛 )
