Hi Strk,
Looks good and obviously very strong! I was glad to learn that you were the fine designer of the Modern Naval Warfare ships on ecardmodels.com. Best wishes, Greg |

Build continuation.
Fore superstructure first level. Again I used groove joints: Simple elements, simple build. No further words neccessary: Of course, elements are not glued together. Now, fore superstructure second level, and then - the hull (still not designed yet)

Hi Strk,
I like the look of your build. I suspect that creating a "simple" build involves a lot of complex design work. Can't wait to see the hull. Greg |

The hull framework will be challenging. It will be designed (hull skin) in a little bit different way (than in Nansen). Single layer with overlap at the WL. Fore superstructure, second level: Currently, this module is re-designed and slightly simplified - it came out, that there's no need to build 8(!)supporting elements

I needed a rest from cutting thick cardboard, so I decided to build one of two WSC-3 UHF SATCOMM antennas:
Each antenna consists of 9 parts. Fore superstructure:

It took one week to design the hull.
I used two-views drawing (top, side), a bunch of pics, and available data (length, length WL, beam, draft) to design this: All surfaces are easily developable, except sonar radome, which needs to be cut the way I shown on my how-to vid (with poor audio quality) at YT.

I like the tab and slots you are using. Makes for a very rigid design. She looks beautiful and anyone who knows Naval History appreciates "The Sullivans".

Whenever it is possible, I avoid tabs. Tabs made of 140g/m2 paper have enough rigidity, but their thickness must be taken into design, and can cause errors in build. Tabs made of typical office paper 80g/m2 are thin, but not enough rigid.
In this case, I had to use "special" material. It is a sort of semi-transparent, thin, very rigid paper, sometimes used as an aid in nautical charts trainings. You put it on the chart, draw lines on it and and safely erase them with a rubber, preserving your chart from wear and tear. Ask some skipper to get detailed explanation.

The antennae came out quite well, incredible detail in such a small creation, which bodes well for the rest of this build.
A very nice rendering of the hull, and I look forward to seeing it created as you proceed with this build. Wonderful job as usual! Cheers! Jim |
