Thanks Wilfried. Rhino is a little out of my range and anyway, I am not well versed in 3D programs. I still use 2D CAD software and Inkscape to do my designs.
I like the glass, I use a section of a formica cabinet door as my flat surface. I've checked it with a square and it is straight. Have a good one.

The model is off to a great start, Wilfried. That fine-shaped hull reminds me of the beautiful white banana boats that used to come into Baltimore Harbor in the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Hello Don,
you're right, the lines remember a little bit to the banana boats - but the main route of these ships was from Europe to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk, Miami, Port St. Joe, Pensacola, New Orleans, Orange, Beaumont, Houston and back to Europe. Often they are picking tanks for the US troops at Norfolk and carry them to Europe, especially to Germany With lovely greetings the Wilfried

Hello gentlemen,
the last deck placed and now the hull structure is prepared to covered with iron - no; I use transparency paper for the first. As you see in the foreground on the second pic, first printed out from the construction the lines of the formers and the stringers. So I have a good angle to fix it on the hull structure with a removable glue. I prefer for this the good old FixoGum .. Picking up the important points, straight on the scanner and with Freehand open up the right lines ... printed out and a finger proof will be helpful ... I try to work with the grain of the cardboard. Minimum cutting - only to break the grain at the difficult points - I think the pics speaks for itself ... So, that's it for the moment ... on the last pic you can see all the steps working on the hull... I wish you all a good start into the new week and with lovely greetings the Wilfried

Hi Wilfried,
This is certainly coming right along, it looks like you are "figuring" it out quite nicely.

Greetings, Wilfried!
A wonderfully instructive post on your technique for working on this part of the hull design. Coming along quite nicely! Thank you for showing us how you tackle this bit of the design and construction process. Cheers! Jim

Hello gentlemen,
Quote:
Jim, I like to show I did it; maybe I animate some of you guys, to start your own design of a ship? With lovely greetings the Wilfried PS: by the way - I miss models or plans from US freighters of the 50ties ... :D

Thanks, Wilfried...actually, it won't take much prodding, I just need to learn how to design a paper ship model, as I have a very deep desire to create models of some ships, particularly the older ones I sailed on in the 70's, such as the Mormaclynx, President Filmore and Lash Italia...I am always looking for data with the hope that at some point I will learn enough about paper ship model designing to permit me to create a decent version of each of them!
Of all of the ships noted, the Mormaclynx was, to my eye, the most beautiful and one I would love to create...see a photo below! Cheers! Jim
