- DamonPetty Officer 2nd ClassWell instructions may of been useless> 😟 but you've made a brilliant job of it. I think instructions are designed so you end up sinking whatever it is you've brought, a strange hope by the manufacturer that U'll go back & buy something else God alone knows their mentality 💭 coz I don't. She looks really Impressive, well done 😎
Hope it does not live up to it's name 😁

- hammerLieutenantThis is a very quick way to make a hull. First remove the silver paper from one side of the foam & reduce thickness to the distance between the stations. Starting at the widest mark the station include the centre line. mark on the on the silver side, cut out square. Continue fore & aft. Stick them all together aligning the centre marks top& bottom, hold in place with cocktail sticks until the PVA is set. Carve the square edges down to the silver at the smaller station. Mark the lines of the plates, cut the plates 8-10 scale ft. 3ft wide max. Simulate rivets before glueing with polyurethane wood glue. The edges of the outer line of plates over lapping the inner use super glue (thick verity) Hope this is clear. hic! hic!!
