Well gave up on mock up.................And have just dove into the model it's self
Here we have 4 pics of the hull being made out of stuff that was on hand which made it 12" because that was the longest sheet of styrene on hand . Building up the hull with some bass and balsa wood strips glued together and to the plastic using walthers Goo. And the figure is an O/O27 railroad worker just as a scale reference. I will be using the pics and the half completed mock up to keep me on track as I build.
This pic shows styrene sheet fastend down and ready to cut.
Here we have the deck cut to width
Test fit for overall scale +/- artistic license
Hull glued to deck(the underside)
May build a diorama if the boat comes out nice
