Hi guys and well what have we install for you this time round
as posted before i have gotten as far as i could with my little dictator and i was getting annoyed with the limited space inside the hull so as they say "bigger is better"
i grabbed all the plans and put them on my scanner at home and scaled them up 189% don't ask me why it just seemed like a good number and my scanner did not do 200% and i am also a very tight "xxxxx" (I Must have been Scottish in a previous life
)and i did not want to pay for a printer to do it for me.
basically i have cut all the ribs out of 2mm ply the transom will be doubled later on in the build to make it stronger, the sponson sides are cut from 3mm ply and the rest will be done with either 0.8 ply or 2mm.
Now as this is a first for me doing a hull from scratch with no plans as such as the templates of the sponsons are the only thing i have used from the previous model. so please offer advice and such and i will duly take it on board or file it away in the recycling section of my office/study/shed/haven.
this is what it looks like ATM. i have foam in the background of the pic to fill the sponsons with and enough ply to sink a ship :)
and as you can see i haven't gotten very far but it is looking very good to me ATM I'm still deciding if I will skin it with a veneer or paint it but the usual for me will be to resin the timber as always.
Enjoy
