Making the hull of the KW88

Hello everybody,

At this moment I have done a lot of work for this model allready. Lots of work will not be vissible when she is ready but is inevitable to get a realistic model. But how good is the feeling when you have (after all the work) a fysical hull in your hands wich look svery good. On the pictures you see the wooden model of the hull. They call this the plug and I will use this in the future to make a polyester mould arround it so I can make multiple hulls out of it. I do this because I want to make two of the same models and maybe I can sell some hull later to other modelbuilders.

The pictures
Here you see a lot of copys of the lineplan to make templates for the longitudinal cross-sections (does that make any sense? I used Google translate so blame them if not....:) )

The templates are ready to trace them on the wood
