    I packed all my Connie plans since I'm moving but if you look closley at the pic you send me, you can see how I screwed up. I measured all the shroud downhauls and many were incorrectly marked so that after I cut the gunports, properly installed shroud downhauls would block a canon port. It was way too late to fix such a blunder so I installed the shrouds with no downhauls!!  step back and make suer each shroud can have a downhaul and not block a gunport

      Enjoy your move (bad joke).

       

      I believe that I have a battle plan. 

       

      Will it survive first contact?

       

      Thanks

    Good morning, 

     

    I have read your tutorial concerning proportional dividers at least a dozen times.  1.  When on some models, there will be a curve to the deck that will cause the center of the deck to be lower than the ends.  How do I handle this?

     

    2.  Should I ignore deadwood areas?  Is there a way to handle this situation?

     

    Thank-you for taking the time to help out.

      I appreciate your rapid response. 

       

      In two or three days I will begin assembling the hull on the Dallas.  I will follow your instructions. 

      Am I correct in the belief that the measurement begin with a straight strange?

       

      Thanks for your time
