6. Filler Blocks; STERN
Figure 5:
With the stern, filler blocks are again an advantage to
obtain the correct flowing shape of the counter and transom
of the ship. As in the bow the additional gluing surface

due to the soft nature of balsa, if you do use nails to fix
the planks be sure they go into the actual bulkheads.
