RE: Martin Mars Build Thread (ivansplans.com)
This is great fun during the worst of the winter here. Cutting and gluing sticks. It's something I can do in the morning before I'm completely awake.
Nearly messed up. Saw a pic on another build that lead me to believe I could do the fore and aft hull sections separately. As you can see in the pic, I mended my ways. I did have to slide the ceiling tiles off the ends of my build table, but NBD. This is one big momma.
The forward section of the hull is straight on the top, between F1 and F10, so I think I'll join the two halves upside down, and just hang the upswept aft sections off the end of the table until I'm ready to join them. I'll be able to get all the bottom pieces and longerons onto F1-F10 while it's upside down and straight on the table, and that should help a lot.
