Hello
I'd like to do a 1/4 scale model (of an Atkin design - Shoals Runner http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Ut...alsRunner.html using 1/2 inch ply for frames, with some kind of "plywood" for the hull panels. I hope to build a variation of this design in aluminum, but there are a thousand details to work out. Last year I made a model of Rescue Minor http://www.boat-links.com/Atkinco/Ut...scueMinor.html using 1/8 masonite. The masonite didn't do very well on the tight bends, can't be fastened near the edges, and is ugly. What is needed is a bendable sheet material, which can be fastened with drywall screws, as well as duct tape (temporary) and glue (permanent). It would be nice if it looks good, or will take paint, as with a few minutes extra attention the model will make a nice book-case, perhaps even provide a visual aid in selling the project to "she whose whim is law". Any suggestions would be appreciated! Sal's Dad |
