wondering how people make the hull on a modern metal ship. I just completed a USCG cutter and applied vertical sheets to frames. The hull was not ideal. (It was also my first scratch build.)
I tried polystyrene but that did not work. The sheets of basswood worked butter. But the bow did not work with the basswood. So I carved the bow section out of balsa wood. ( You can tell I am a real rookie.) I attached a picture of the finished ship. You can see some of the hull problems.
thanks
