Nice shots Jim... Hey, I'll tell you what works like a jewel on that 2 mm stuff... Utility snips for vinyl flooring. They're razor sharp and make quick, precise cuts of that thick stuff. You have to cut carefully though as the outboard blade has some minor teeth and can leave imprints if you cut the wrong direction. you have to cut all pieces inboard of the snips. You can pick them up at any hardware store in the flooring section or in the tool section of your local wal-mart. They come in very handy and will save you a bunch of $ on blades and wasted time.
As for the hull, you could take some balsa strips and make a horizontal strut between formers. I've used this technique before with good results. It's a quick, easy fix to that problem.
Keep up the good work Jim!
