hello everyone I thought of the idea and it works great ! 1.make a photocopy of the bulkhead from the plans with the lines (of the center and WL) 2.now you need to paint the other side of the copy on the direction of the lines from the copy side by PENCIL 3.put the copy on the bulkhead with the lines outside and the pencil "paint" inside 4.Now take a ruler lay it on the line and just mark the line with a pencil 5.by doing step 4 when you marking the lines on the paper you also marking under the paper Because the other side "paint" by pencil best regards Michael.

thank you Antony and Nigel Nigel its not going to help me .... like you Sade even the plans are not symmetrical for example frame 9 has 20 cm wide frame 10 has 19.8 wide and frame 11 has 20 cm wide so the solution is or to fill up frame 10 with 2 mm or to sand frames 9 and 11 and to be honest if one side will be a bit fat from the other side even with 3-4 mm of different no buddy can see that in our case that the frames has 20 cm wide my problem is only to make the frames level with the other frames at the same side then i will do the other side thank you Michael. -

hello I have a few questions before I buy a table saw 1 . can i cut strips from sheets by Proxxon (fet) 2 . do i need to buy only mini saw for that work or maybe can i buy real table saw like bosch , makita , dewalt ect. i can't buy the byrnes table saw because I'm from israel and i tried lot of time to send email to hem but never received answer.... anyway in my country i can Choose between proxxon the fet model or to buy "real" table saw i mean the big one... By the way the price of the proxxon its expensive i can bay kind regards Michael.

Thank you all !! I love this forum !!!

Thank you for the answer But to be honest I don't want to use any kind of paper it's my first build and I'm working on that mor than one year and I never used other alternative than wood or metal So I don't want to start using that alternative in the last part of my model In the official pic of mamoli they post that pic http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/716Uq29HV4L._SL1196_.jpg And you can see that they used ropes on that part of wood the question is for what is used for , is it for making the wood stronger like the ropes on the masts or to making that heavier , and if it's for making that stronger I guess that it's ok to use rope like in the official model of mamoli Michael.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
