Nothing like a good Futtock first thing in the morning!... :LittleDevil:
Welcome! I'm a steamboating kinda guy
Looks like your building a model of a Navy "K"..

Do yourself a favor if you haven't already. Draw a line above the shear parallel to the base line, and mark it as a building board line. You can then build it upside down which will be much easier to work on and you can pick off the dimension to the board line from the plans when you make up your frames from many many futtocks!.... 8)
.....that's just the boatbuilder in me talking..........
Keep the post pictures coming! I like it.... Alot!

it will be either a B or G engine,, really doesn't matter the basic engine form was the same for all the models, just the size changed,, all my hulls get a building board made(if I don't have one of the correct size) and building a hull "up-side-down" is the best method,, its the only way to keep things true during the planking, more important if your hull has a curved or stepped deck.. your link is well known to me..

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!

There ya go. Were they multilayered and "cold molded" in real life ( poor choice of terms I suppose) ? or is that just a modern construction bent?
I assume you have it strip planked and then cold molded.... Nice shape! It looks very fair! :ThumbsUp: :cheers:
