Did some preliminary sanding especially the Stern and the bow. I want to get a visual of the curvature of both and with some sanding I can get that. Sorry, not focued
Stern and bow.
Next I made templates of scrap wood for the bow. One piece for the X axis and one piece for the Y axis. The empty spaces will be filled with balsa
Did the same for the Stern but only for the Y axis and will be filled with balsa and sanded to get the curve
Next took the individual paper templates, one for each bulkhead, lined them up, clamped them to each bulkhead. Now I can mark where all the decks go.
Marked both sides of the bulkheads where the different decks go.
Deck templates are made from maple and cherry veneer.
Slowly shaping the stern and will do the same for the bow.
