Solid hull poll
I would be interested in finding out what is preferred in building a solid hull model.
Do you want to start with a solid block of wood? Do you want to build it up using the 'bread and butter' method? Richard

Re: Solid hull poll
For me it really depends on the ship I have chosen. How many decks? Flush deck or not? What scale? So I cant choose one or the other. I would use lifts for a flush deck vessel while using bread and butter for hulls like the Mayflower.

Re: Solid hull poll
I use the bread and butter method of solid hull construction. More often than not, I make my lifts vis a vis the waterlines, then plot the offsets from the hull section templates. Rarely I make up the hull based on the buttock lines. I have found this advantageous when the model has a pronounced eliptical stern as with the liner Aquitania. I also use the bread and butter core method in which the waterline lifts are hollowed out. John Harding

Re: Solid hull poll
Here is a newbie question for you. What do you mean "lifts"?

Re: Solid hull poll
Steve:
A "lift" is a horizontal section of the hull cut along the long axis of the ship. Imagine a stack of 2X4's piled neatly on top of each other; Each board is a "lift" or section.
