Hello all. I am new to this, but not to modeling. I have a question about building a model from line drawings (profile with sheer line, cross sections of the hull at stations, etc).
1) On the cross sections showing all the stations, is each station line inclusive of the thickness of the planking, or only the timbers?
2) Is the outermost line the midframe, and the same on both the right (bow stations) side and left (stern) stations? On my set of drawings the midframe outline looks like a double line, and when I count stations on the profile there are 6 fore and 6 aft of the midframe; would this mean the drawing is showing the midframe dimension without and with the planking?
3) Is there a convention on this?
Thanks for any help. Email (mikeslade1435@gmail.com) works well for me.
