Styrene ship


This is a small update on the progress of the last few weeks. I haven't been able to put in as much time as I would have liked to. Below is the bow with the new decks made from sheet styrene as is everything else in the picture except the hull. All of the curved vertical surfaces are also scratch built from sheet styrene and are the correct shape according to plans I have. The brown material is just paper I am using to make templates for the wood decking. It might be a few more weeks before I get any more work done to the stern and the upper deck structures. I will also need to create windows, either by cutting out holes or making decals, depending on the size.
