Hello All
This is my first post and I have no experience in model making of any kind, also please forgive me if some of the terminology isn’t correct.
4 to 5 years ago on a wet Sunday afternoon I decided to make a submarine – the funny thing was I knew nothing about where to start. 4-5 years later I’m still none-the-wiser and have a poorly made hull.
The hull is a composite of layers of fibreglass resin, external wall plaster and more fibreglass.
The problem I’m facing is my lack of ‘Finishing Skill’ as you may see from the pictures. What I have done hasn’t resulted in a smooth body.
I have attempted to correct the problem by adding more resin (+ sanding it down) but can never get it right.
Are there any techniques, tips or trick or many by an alternative material?
