I'll say it again Andy, you're a bona fide scratchbuilding genius!  I know nothing about boat hulls but I could see the first hull as being a pulp era experimental design or something,  there's certainly a pleasing look to the way it curves. A modular boat design is a great idea.

I may be in a minority, but still liking the 'old' hull.. There is some great character to it.

Cheers gents!!

Depending on what Ainsty wants, i may save that old hull by adding extra layers of plastic card.

Thanks Kev!

Ill speak to Andy this weekend mate and see what he wants. It could be an option for a couple different bows and sterns?

x2 to what Mr. Peabody said, I too like the first hull quite a deal, perfect look and shape for that rusty yet trusty old bucket that has sailed the seven seas and back countless times. So no "saving" needed with new layers of plastic card but continuing with that just as it is and making another hull option for those who want a more "been around the world and back" look for their ships :)

All in all, yet another cool project, much kudos to your skills.

So after being on holiday for a couple of weeks I've found myself with a severe lack of mojo! ! :'( :'(

This is my effort to try and get me back into the hobby! It supposed to be a lifeboat and one side of the crane to lower it from the ship. I've used a high density foam that I found scraps on, on a building site and covered it with GS. I'll add a GS tarpaulin to the top to hide the upper parts of the ropes. ...

Nice greenstuffing! I was wondering how this project was getting on.
