Stan has begun to build the hull for my 1/32 PT 10 and has sent me the following photos. I thought I would share them with you. More later as he build takes shape.

Wow! What a slick building procedure. No more Harold Hahn style building Jigs to support and align framework on PT hulls for me. Have to try this.

More work continues on the Hull as Stan starts to cover the framing of the boat.

Notice Stan covers the back half of the boat using long pieces of bass wood. The front half gets covered using the planks, which Stan says he uses because it's easier to heat and bend the strips for the front curve of the Hull.........

Thanks guys, Stan will continue to take photos of the progress of this boat. I will post them as things move forward. I am always amazed at photo's that show a model being built and the tecniques that are used to accomplish the end results............
