In the early 60's as a young teen I built a sub similar. The USS something or other

I was just about to share the link to that build, and was surprised noone had pointed to it yet!As far as cutaway ships, I just finished (last month) a cutaway of the Soleil Royal. You can see the log here: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/mantua-sergal-soleil-royal-cutaway.5120/
That's not what I'm looking for. I just want a 'hole' in the side of the ship displaying some of the innards.With mast and rigging it would indeed be a feat but if it is just the hull, couldn't he just build a normal POF model and cut it lengthwise in the middle of the keel on a big band-saw? As a "side effect" he would even get 2 half's
I stumbled over this kit, half ship in Admiralty style: https://modelshipyard.ru/product/mayflower-150-polovinka/
Ach so! Then maybe like the Black Pearl all scenario https://www.zhlmodel.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50That's not what I'm looking for. I just want a 'hole' in the side of the ship displaying some of the innards.
Yes yes yes, that's more like it. Now, to find a real ship...Ach so! Then maybe like the Black Pearl all scenario https://www.zhlmodel.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=50
The circus is a good place to start.....Where do I get small people???
There is probably an entire thread on that topic around here somewhere. The short answer is yes.... shorter pieces of planking in a staggered fashion with butt joints at the frame points. Some modelers use a single strip then draw in the joints with a pencil. Others use individual pieces. Still others only use a single long piece. Depending on the scale of the model the planks would be so small you could not see the joints anyway so it all depends. "Builders Choice" applies here...So, how did they do it?
