Decided to give the hull a wash/filter of black/white/raw sienna/burnt umber oil paints, before doing more rust.

Next one under construction is a motor patrol junk. Size sorted out with some card and wood block, then transferred to 2mm sheet for the waterline and top deck. Then the fun sorting out the bow and stern post and the boats sides

Top and bottom cut out and using paper guide now shaped to correct side
