Hello everyone
Update attach image of power plant
I now have the plans printed out of the boat was viewing the plans, decided to go with 1/4 balsa as this is what the plans were designed for originally, along with light ply, for super structure, frame parts, which are very simple
in design . Question for those that have worked with balsa wood, for model boat building or others that might have good advice . Sanding and shaping the hull bottom parts and deck which are made from 1/4 sheets. Two parts with a seam down the middle glue sections together to make hole . I plan to use spray mount, to stick templets to balsa sheets rough cut out a perimeter via my scroll saw, then sand to exact templet shape deck and hull bottom . This is where I am not sure what is the best way to go about sanding to get best results, nice clean look to the parts . I though of a Proxxon disc sander, but perhaps might be to aggressive for balsa? then I though maybe make a sanding jig out of MDF board
L shaped attach fine sand paper via spray mount, to the back wall of sanding jig then attach handles temporary glue them to the parts for better control while sanding and keeping the edges square ? The deck of this design is like a Clyde Puffer, kind of long oval shaped, which I think might present it's own changes while sanding any help would be greatly appreciated David
