Amalio Posted January 17, 2023 Author #1021 Posted January 17, 2023 Hello, good morning. In many classic carpentry jobs, frames or molds have always been used that are later covered with wood. They help to achieve symmetrical curves and at the same time provide a strong and reliable structure that you can ride without fear of everything breaking. I made this particular mold with the original plans of the ship, from which the thickness of the ribs was discounted. In the end, and when the entire exterior of the hull is finished, it is removed in pieces, leaving a very strong structure. It's another way to build a hull for a bower model.

Thank you Amalio for your explanation. So, if I understood right, the only goal of the internal mold is just provide stiffness to the ribs while working. That makes completely sense, but I find nevertheless double work, first cutting and sanding the molding external part with high accuracy and later again, cutting and sanding the same curves for the ribs' part that is in contact with the mold. In any case, the result is astonishing. Keith Black and Obormotov 2 Quote
Amalio Posted January 17, 2023 Author #1023 Posted January 17, 2023 For me, ship modeling is a real pleasure, not only when you finish something, but also throughout the construction process. I love the time I spend in my workshop and I don't pay attention to the time it will take to finish a model, nor to the amount of work involved. It happens to me that when I finish a model I feel a certain sensation of sadness because I will no longer be able to continue enjoying it. bruce d, Obormotov, Keith Black and 7 others 10 Quote AMALIO
