Default Help with scratch build

I have an idea for a really cool boat. My Grandfather owns a 26' Nordic Tug which he really loves. I think that it would be an awesome Christmas present if I could make an rc model of it. I would plan on cutting out bulk heads from plywood then running stringers between them and finally sheeting with balsa. From here I would apply fiberglass and start to build the upper deck from wood or styrine. I need help with the bulk heads and getting the right shape. I will post a picture of a similar boat. If anyone can help me figure out how to get some scale bulkheads drawn out I would greatly appreciate it.



Thanks,


Mike

Maybe start with a Dumas Lord Nelson (the hull isn't quite right), or a Dumas Osprey?

Lord Nelson

Osprey- a smaller model, maybe scale the hull up?
