CPDDET Posted Wednesday at 02:48 AM #1 Posted Wednesday at 02:48 AM (edited) I'm building this from 1:12 RC plans created by Pat Matthews. His design called for plank on frame as he needed below deck space for things like motors and batteries. I have decided to build it plank on bulkhead. His plan also called for 1/8 inch frames but I decided to go to 1/4 inch bulkheads to aid in butting hull planks. Using Baltic plywood I have about 95% of the bulkheads completed (just 6 more to go). My aim is to build the model as close to the 1934 version as possible (even while on the hard in Cuba some changes were made during refurbishing).

It's going to be a slow slog as I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing. 🤔 Nirvana 1 Current build: Hemingway's Pilar Previous build: NRG Half Hull Previous build: MS Bluenose
