Hey Kentyler great photos.
The only trouble is if I make a mistake everybody will know.

Here is a first attempt at a frame. I am a fun of box beams for torsional rigidity.
Maybe unnecessary but it should eliminate a twisted hull.
I am going to use 1/4" balsa for the ribs hoping to eliminate the sharp edges of narrow ribs.
I should be able to sand across the ribs and put the skin on them directly.

The plywood was a mistake. I was fooled by using 1/32" plywood on a previous model.
It turns out that 1/16 is somewhat cheaper than 1/32".
The 1/32" can be cut with scissors like card. The 1/16" cannot be cut with scissors.
The result is bad joints and bad fits. However I am committed so press on.
cheers Jim

A very original way to make a ship's hull. I will be following your thread with great interest, always keen to learn.

Very promising start!

I was not aware that there is the museum ship named after one of the most famous Polish writers

Joseph Conrad - Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski, born in Berdyczow.

Thanks abhovi abd strk but don't think I know what I am doing here.
This is very much experimental stuff.
I have been on the road so not much progress but some of the central ribs in place.
The ribs are balsa wood. I am hoping to avoid the hard edge of thin card ribs.
cheers Jim

I am continuing to work on the model and take pictures but can't load them up to my
computer due to a bug in the photo program "shotwell" and so can't load them to papermodelers. Have reported the bug and the pics will stay in the camera for now.
cheers Jim

I guess it's time to restart this thread. Unfortunately there is not a lot of progress due to
life getting in the way. The Linux software problem was resolved around the year end so
I can now post pictures. I will dribble them out with the date they were taken.
These are July 17 2017. Just some more ribs.
cheers Jim

Glad to see you restarting this thread Jim. Once caught up on pics hope this build can move right on along.
