To answer your questions Scon10, the large item in the fourth photo is a mat board strip cutter, as I needed a lot of them for the little ferry boats, and this cut them fast and of uniform size. The rest of the stuff was all jigs and dies to make the boats match the originals. There are no bulkheads or any other interior support within the design, making it very difficult to model in almost any material but plastic, which I do not use. Paper/ foil was stiff enough, but my first ones did not match the shape exactly, and the setup in the pictures let me get all the angles right . I like building things in metal too, and may have got carried away with that as well...........if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. Thanks very much for your interest and I also want to thank everyone else following this thread, as I am a recent newcomer here and was not sure if my techniques were within the parameters. Apparently so, and thanks again to all
