Wako hull construction
Added 2018-10-08 09:16:15 +0000 UTCI have finished the development of the main hull for the wako pirate ship. It is built using the time tested two layer approach and it goes together very simple. I like the shape of the hull sides now much better than the first prototype.
In order for the hull to be able to hold loads of even heavy metal minis, I have added the inner keel and ribs structure. Most important part if this build stage is: let it dry thoroughly using a couple books pressing overnight, which hold the full assembly flat.
Here is a look at the hull section turned over. It has all the details I researched with the Samurai Fleet builder ships but honestly, with the huge deck above you probably won't notice much of it :-)
Where the large side hull parts meet, you can notice a little seam, but again with the extending deck covering it, you will not be distracted by it.
I am working on the deck today, so hopefully I will have pics on how it looks very soon!
Happy building,
Chris
