A wooden ship model hull on a workboard, mostly coated with filler. Getting ready for sanding when it dries. I use a discarded credit card for pushing the filler into any seams or gaps, and then scraping it down.

I finished planking the hull. Now for a little filler and sanding. And then some more sanding. And maybe a bit more sanding. And finally some finishing sanding (like three times). Then I get to see if it's smooth and add some more filler and start sanding again.

Wooden ship model hull with rows of planks being attached.

A few more planks added. Gaps will be filled and ridges sanded down. Bare wood looks nice, but too much of it looks boring. I'll be painting the hull in the original colors.

The hull of a wooden ship model being sanded and filled in front of a sanding box.

Sanding and filling. I do the sanding inside the box so the dust doesn't go everywhere.

The inner hull of the Amati Rainbow J-class racing yacht.
