The Making of the Model

Well after a few weeks worth of work went into designing with AutoCAD and calculating Hull Speeds and buoyancy integrity (to mention just a few things) I proceeded in scaling the plans to 1/10 (a workable size for a model) and printed out on a plotter all the pieces on 2, 70 x 100cm thick sheet of cardboard.



Cut out all the pieces and started assembly.






I must confess that this whole process is a lot of fun.

It's starting to actually look like something!!!






Still some more work to do but the model is proceeding nicely.
