| Hi m8
I was looking at the Engel nautilus, but that has the wrong rivet pattern on it from the film so would totally need redoing. 7000 in all so that would be a challenge.
Saying that I had a rough count today and my boat will have around 4000 when done, it surprising how quick they mount up.
I have added a picture of part of one side done, and a coat of paint just to see how it looked. (I am very impatient when it comes to seeing the finished thing.)
It will need several more coats of paint to look right, then add the weathering, rust and barnacles and other crap that builds up on a boat hull and it should look ok.
