Thank you John for visiting my build log and for your positive comment!Once I finnished sanding off the hull I will start constructing the stern framings.
Not an easy job but I think it will pay benefits down the line!
Even do the idea to use the foam to create a solid surface for the planking ,she will be fouble planked anyway ,using the first layer to get into of the “groove “ of planking and make a better job with the socond one.
G'day Zoly
I believe a polyurethane glue is the best type to use.
This photo was taken from a video that use the insulation foam. And Luke on the video mentioned for best results use a polyurethane glue. This one swell up so be careful mate.

What a creation so far! Good idea with the foam. It was a common solution for the folks building ships with card as without it the model would get that sucked in skeletal look between bulkheads. I imagine having a good even surface to plank against will make for perfect seams 
How many sheets of plywood did you end up going through for your keel and bulkheads?
Thanks for sharing this with us. I lived off Lake Ontario for 30 years and had no idea what the English or the Americans were building around here. Never too old to learn!

Hello
Hello Ron,thanks for visiting my build log,I have used about 8-10 sheets of plywood(need to check the size) 6 mm thick.

Hello Greg,I never tried to use this glue yet,maybe in the future since all the poly foame glued in.
So I have finished sanding the foam, next I build up the stern and bow piece
Today I was working on the bow pieces, I think they came out pretty good
Thank you guys for the visit and the nice word and likes,I will go over hull a few more times ,laying on a few planks to see if everything flush and even.
Very good.

Actually wasn’t that bad,everything went pretty smmothly,easy to sand this foam.
I moved on building the stern framing, I have used the stern plate to align the frames with the window framings,so far everything looks good,more updates follows.
I was just looking at your use of foam and it got me to thinking. I wonder if the expanding foam would be good for such an application.
I guess can be used the same way and just remove and sanding down the overflow.
I would be very carefull with this expanding foam, because he will produce pressure against the bulkheads, and partly also against the keel, if you fill only one side, which will be definitely the case. It could be that the basic structure will get deflection or torsion.....
