An keel cutout got to be carefull though as its very fragile to move around anyway more links soon as I got have a rest an then go outside into my garage as that's where the ship is bein built an not indoors due to its size an build a bit more as I want to start covering her today

Looking good Chris, and as you say, a bit fragile at the moment but it will stiffen up once you get the frames mounted.
Looking forward to seeing more as you progress.

Regards
Ray.

Got a bit ahead of my self there as I should have shown a pic of the plasticard fitted in between the H/J to serve as a spacer so when the hull is is covered an lifted off baseboard an bolts removed the plasticard can be removed to make a space to fit in for the hacksaw blade to cut hull

Lovely job. You can post your images rather than just links

Just use the insert image tab and post the image address
