Modeling

[capaworks]

Well guys,

The plans for the new project are on the way.. Bought, paid for and wife approved.

Construction is going to be foam/balsa bulkheads, strip cedar hull with E-glass, carbon rudders.

I have access to a CNC router to cut the bulkheads and other forms (MDF) for the strongback..

Before plnking down gobs of money for building material I was considering building a model of the boat in 10:1 scale and tring to build using same techniques.

Although epoxy bog will fill most any gap thought this might be a good idea.

Has anyone done this and have some feedback on if it is useful or a waste of 60 hours and $300 in materials..

Worst case scenario is there would be a nice toy at the end..

THanks,

Tony

Not so sure it would be worth it.
Have you built a boat before using this technique? How big is the full size version?
