I found this plant on the internet. I'm going to try to do it using a 5mm foam board. For the keel and the caverns. The plankes will be made of canson paper (4 sheets glued together with white glue, approx. 1.5mm.) If all goes well, and I hope so, I intend to post pictures of the progress of the work.20230415_190224.jpg

It will be interesting to see how you will "form" the final form of the hull.
I guess these stripes are the first layer as a basis for some finller material to get after sanding the final form?

Dear Uwek, exactly. These stripes, which I proudly call planks, after being glued, will receive a layer of acrylic putty and then it will be sanded. This process must have three coats, until the shape of the hull is final. The last process is painting (maybe two coats)

Dear friend, that's exactly it...! Balsa wood, commonly used for model building, is not only hard to find where I live, but also not cheap. With that in mind, I developed this system of gluing several sheets of canson paper until reaching the required thickness. The frames and keel are made of 5mm foam board. I will maintain all his construction daily. It is my pleasure to see that some people are interested in my boat. A big hug.
