This post is fantastic to see. I'm a short time viewer, first time poster on this forum. There are some interesting thoughts shared on whether on not to use a fibreglass plug, it's not something I have ever considered before!
I haven't made anything this big, although I am currently building a 1:9 scale Riva Aquarama, hope to put a post up soon. However working on the fringe of the offshore industry I have found the x-bow design fascinating and want to build one!
I see you have the plans for the ship, where did you find these? I have been scouring the internet for plans of a well intervention vessel or similar, but have yet to have much luck!
Great to see the hard work so far! Will follow with interest.
