Сестрорецк [Sestroretsk] Scratchbuild scale 1/64 Russ. torpedo boat 1894
So everything is copied and these are fitting in scale to 1/48 and to each other. I didn't got a scale gauge with the frames so I looked on top of the light tablet for the spacing of the water lines.
For better detailing I enlarged one set of drawings of sideview/WLplan by 150% up to 1/32 - I ever become as made as to build her in this amazing scale:

Сестрорецк [Sestroretsk] from 1894 has been upscaled to 1/32
to redraw the old plan from ink on linen fabric in a propper way. Let's start finding the details.
The other copies in 1/48 are ready for glueing on cardboard (trying spray glue for a dry contact) and cutting out:
So building will start in 1/48 this evening...
First decissions for the build are made:
1ST
So there will certainly be the CenterBoard and to get mir "stiffness" I do add parallelly the vertical layer N°II or N°III as I do habe to build the centerboard from a number of cardboard pices.
The decission about the position of the vertical layers will depend on the results of a test build of the midsection.
2ND
All the underwater water lines will be brought in so the underwater hull has has a good "definition" - they will be simply pushed in horizontal slots.
3RD
The bulkheads will come with a CL-slot from below and a pair of N° II or N°III slots from the top. The "planking" will be made by some 160g paper.
4TH
But the imitation of the plating depends on the thickness of the original plating I do hope to find in the cutting drawings.
Does you have any suggestions to my four points?

You are so right, dear Dart!
Today I started to cut out the centerboard from the plan and was keen for the important places I have to look so I keep the cut out parts for further work.
Here my results from today's evening - no one asked for sweets so I made good progress:
