The next part is the hull. By starting this model, I decided to work so close as possible to the original structure. My first idea was to buildthe hull-structure also from stailess steel tubes. But, I canceled this.The reason is simple, if I replase the tubes with strips, a damage is very, very easier to repair than with tubes.


I started with build two ladders



and than,step by step, it looks like a half-timbered house, and, so it should do, light, but very strong
