naval ship build - WIP (1) the basic hull

for general use - a naval coastal vessel of sorts (gunboat/minesweeper)

I made up a core for the hull...approx 21inches long and about 4ins wide

 the hull core is built up of a base of thin cardboard + foamboard layers and a top of MDF

 the sides and deck surfaces were cut from cardboard

 and then sides stuck on ...

 the hull ready for fitting out ....

will add decks then superstructure etc ....
