Buttock lines solid hull construction?

[Paddy]

I'm interested in learning how one constructs a solid hull using the buttock lines for the lifts from a set of plans. Do any of you know of a document or book that explains the proceedure?

 

Thanks very much.

no. Though the buttock lines are usually only drawn for the bottom most section of the ship where the standard waterlines do not provide enough information to create the shape.

Thanks for the reply Joss.

Ahoy Paddy

 

"Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders" by Donald Dressel goes into how to create frames and bulkheads from plans. I am sure you could use this information to create accurate templates for a solid hull model. The book is inexpensive and a good read for anyone interested in ship modeling.

Thanks for the info Pett.

Paddy -

 

Not sure if this will help much, but there is a Nautical Research Journal article from 2010 by Gilbert McArdle where he describes making a solid hull model of the HMS Sussex.

 

Information is available at http://www.seawatchbooks.com/110001

 

Good Luck!

Thanks Wayne.

 

Update: Down loaded the pdf that accompanies the book ad on the Sussex and the article does talk about the author’s solid hull build using buttock lines. Let the learning begin.
