Jon - just got back from the link you sent. The images aren't very revealing. Try going to a
modeling web page that specializes in subs. Also, I'll send both you and Michael som JPG's I've
got. Anyone else want'em lemme know.
Take a good look at the stern wedge and the decks. The bottom of the boat duplicates the decks.
The bows are a very simple curve that can be built up out of thin ply layers. The corners of the
bows can easily be built up using carvable foam block, then glassed over.
