Hello gentlemen,
let me pick up the last post of seawolf; but first l would like to talk a little bit about our material cardboard and his physical properties.
If you wish getting acceptable results you should work together with the material!
Using the properties for your work especially the running direction of the paper.
The pic LETTER shows the running direction - with the red line added.
Drawing B explains how we can use this for our shipdesign.
With drawing C I try to give an answer to the question of seawolf (figure 1).
The blue arrows keep the eye on the critical sites of the planking. You can only roll the material in one direction. If you want go into a second, you have split it and glue the edges together. For example figure 2.
But first of all I agree totally with Darwin and his method. Mine is the same. A carefully build up hull framework and the deck in the right place.
And the next steps you can see here in my construction report:
A freighter for the North German Lloyd - try and error?
With lovely greetings and a happy weekend!
the Wilfried
