Kevin WS,
of course, what you wrote is very likely. I'm just wondering if this was done and what was the benefit of it. On the other hand these blocks would be so small that I would not make them:-///

Ab,
if you press any cardboard model too hard, you can destroy it:-))) So of course cardboard hulls cannot be compared to wooden ones. You must be much more delicate.
I think that very curved planks (in the bow for example) works the same as semicircular ceiling vaults built of bricks. I don't know why(:-))) but these curved planks on my models are quite rigid, resistant to dents unless you press it intentionally. I have found some old pictures of old models and all are made the same way: no fillings and two or three layers.

Best
Tomek
