Colin is, as usual, spot on. He mentions the use of "sections" from a hull drawing. This is not the first time I've drawn attention to this misuse of the term "frames". A "frame" is a physical entity. Frames on a traditionally built ship are around 22" apart. So if you want to build a model using frames you will finish up with having made hundreds of them. Builders of "Admiralty" models are used to this.
However, "Stations" are not a physical thing. They are sort of datum points on a drawing of a ships hull to give an overall view of a ships lines. These, in general, are more than adequate for building a model hull. They are easy to understand as they are at regularly spaced intervals and so are easy to put into position (longitudinally). When the hull shape becomes more complicated at the bow and stern the station spacing is halved or even quartered.....making life a lot simpler. Having said all that, build the "plug" upside down. Think about it, and you'll see why (especially at the ends). Good luck. BY.
