HI again guys well I have success on getting the hull off the build board ok an cutting the hull in half sweated buckets doin that (phew)
but it came out ok as I said before the hull is a bit rough but when I have F/G her an sanded it down it should look good but still a lot of work to do on the hull
HERE SWMBO holdin the hull for a pic an she has been helpin me on the build

[boatman]

[boatman]

the hull cut was nice an clean no rough edges

[boatman]

the hull joint when bolted togeather is nice an tight on the strb side

[boatman]

lookin down into the joint an again nice an tight

[boatman]

an port side nice tight fit

[boatman]

an across the hull bottom nice an tight fit im very pleased

[boatman]

NOW its off the build board I can build it at my in my own time an the car can go back into the garage

[boatman]

HI all well been a while since I last posted anything on the build but ive been building the weird shapped stern an it was very hard to get both sides to match up but I think I have done it firstly a pic from the plan to show what ive been building an its not done yet but got the shape mainly

[boatman]

an a rear view shot to show all the angles that have been troublesome

[boatman]

in this nxt pic 's it shows how much extra I have had to build up the hull for the hangar bay an the flightdeck an the unusual shapes of the hull an now its time to begin fittin in the filler in gaps an then sandin it all down a job I hate but got to be done

[boatman]

AN HERE in the rear of the hull I will have to cut or grind out all the hull frames due to the fact that's right where the appertures will have to be cut out an rudder fitted
