: I wish you had those plans before I started my second
scratch-built. The main reason I went with a second,
larger model was because I wasn't happy with the hull
shape. I went through pure hell, but I got the second
hull right. I wish I would have drawn plans up as I
went, to save everyone the headache, but I just built
one piece of the frame at a time. I have pics of the
frame before I layed the individual plates on if you
want to see what it could look like. As part of your plans,
I suggest some sort of diagram or something to show
the placing of the individual hull plates. The stern area is
tricky, and I think people would appreciate it. It takes a
long time to cut, shape, and put the proper amount
of port holes in each plate, but the end result is well worth
it.
