Hello!

That looks cool - but could you post a bigger photo? The one you posted is only 320x240 px and I can't see any details there.

Thanks in advance and have a nice day

Hello!

One thing, that has been bugging me for a long time (other than why are the photos mostly taken in a car) is why are the decks totally flat - my idea was always that the decks should be bulged to let the water drain overboard better. So how about those decks here - was this ship special in this respect?

Good luck with your build and have a nice day

Paweł

 

The side to side slope is added when the decks are glued in, by adding a splice strip under the center seem---then bending the deck down at the otter edges.  Grate post--flatt decks bug me to, so ALL my scratch built ships slope side to side.  Have you seen the rest of my wood ship collection ?
