Tramp Steamer Part 5 (upper hull with styrene sheets)
« on: July 24, 2009, 08:17:03 PM »
This is what I have done so far...

As of July 23, 2009 I have done this work on my tramp steamer. I made changes to the cabin so that it is up higher!!!
I have spent a few hours a day to none. I probably have put 70 to 80 hours into my tramp steamer so far...
I have used styrene sheets for the outside and inside of the boat's hull.
Here are some pictures in order since last time I shown where I was :

Then I worked on the inner and outer, and the 'railing' of the upper hull with
styrene sheets.  This sure makes the hull look more pleasant to look at.
This wasn't 'easy' at all to cut, and also making sure it would stay on the hull.
This took a few days also...










Next there are a few minor details in the lower hull to add.  I am thinking of adding
a pipe from bow to stern.  As you can see the framework has been taped up and
ready to spray paint the boat.  That is the next step!  The step after is adding
the deck (a wooden deck).  More pictures to come when I get there...
That is where I am basically.

You managed to curve the aft
is there a problem?

this is Your model after all, so maybe there was some intention to make the bow section like this?
