Doing a barge for my tugboats
All done except for chains on the ramp, and hydraulic hoses for Doug! Marcel’s dog, Schooner died this week on December 15th, it had been with them for 13 yrs; thus a tribute to the dog seen here in the last photo.

A fair approximation Ron Have fun with the hydraulic 'spaghetti' Apropos the deck- Looks like the original had steel deck plates. So I would give it a light coat of matt or satin medium gray or gunmetal (after sealing and priming) and then …

Hull: First step was to give the inside of the hull a sand to give it a smooth finish. I then fit the deck beams, braces & frames together using U-POL P40 Body Filler. I then used some Gorilla 2-Part Epoxy to cover the joint to reinforce it …
