I have started to have a go at this one with the bow section,having fix the frame down with some double sided tape and marked out and have started to cut but using 3mm ply its slow going as acuracy is need as i always test fit in the emty frames and to give some idea of how long it takes the piece i have done has taken 1 1/2 hours to do.

I like your thinking Peter in reusing the laser cut empty parts as templates, good thinking. Slow going aside this should build into a wonderful ship.

Have you ever thought of using the same principle to re-create the sunken bow section?

Would look awesome and would be easier to do as you can construct what you need to create the look instead of hacking, drilling, bending etc and model version that just won't look right.
