Monarch Posted December 27, 2013 #1 Posted December 27, 2013 Hi I hope everyone is having a great MSW Christmas. Having recently reviewed several build logs I would like to use balsa wood bow and stern infills but acknowledge that the size will vary but to avoid buying all sorts of sizes can anyone please recommend the ideal size to purchase. Thanks Glyn Current build - HM Mortar Convulsion (Caldercraft) - Suspended pending rigging experience HMS Sharke (Sergal)On the shelf: HMAV Bounty (Caldercraft), Portsmouth (Mamoli) & HMS Victory (Caldercraft)
augie Posted December 27, 2013 #2 Posted December 27, 2013 To keep things simple, I have 1/2 and 3/4" balsa sheets (4" width). I just cut and laminate the appropriate pieces to give me what I need. Hope that helps.
