At this moment I have done a lot of work for this model allready. Lots of work will not be vissible when she is ready but is inevitable to get a realistic model. But how good is the feeling when you have (after all the work) a fysical hull in your hands wich look svery good. On the pictures you see the wooden model of the hull. They call this the plug and I will use this in the future to make a polyester mould arround it so I can make multiple hulls out of it. I do this because I want to make two of the same models and maybe I can sell some hull later to other modelbuilders.
The pictures
Here you see a lot of copys of the lineplan to make templates for the longitudinal cross-sections (does that make any sense? I used Google translate so blame them if not....
)
The templates are ready to trace them on the wood
The wood (triplex 3,5mm)
All templates traces on the triplex
The gluing of the longitudinal cross-sections. I pay attention that they are on the correct line and place according the drawings.
And here all the sections together and the top-part glued in places
And then with the help of several powertools and a lot of sanding by hand sanding the shape of the hull. I have to do this very carefull so I wont sand to much. Most of the finishing I do by hand because you have more feeling and it gives a better result.
(Okay I admit. The sander was not even turned on. My wife made an ACTION-picture. But you can see I lost weigt tough
)It's getting shape
And then after a lot of sanding and filling (lots of times) you see the result. Its nice and smooth and ready for further finishing.
Thank you for watching, like-ing and reply-ing. The build is on and more updates will follow soon!
Kind regards, Kees
