Hi Phil,

Thanks for the comments. See the attached image of what I am doing. I will scale to 100% ship size on the entire boat for everything. What I need to make sure is correct in CAD is that it scales each of those stations properly. That will (I think) be my biggest challenge in getting this right. I have the centrelines so I can easily loft the surface and mirror at the end.

At this point in time, I will make it a complete solid. This way I can shell it, make specific cut outs to run custom RC gear, ballast displacement pockets. It will also enable me to derive a surface for the deck as well. I will be able to print the hull in 5 sections and as I will be using ASA as the filament, it will glue together super easy and will be UV resistant. I also have a nice Red or gun metal grey for the hull print.

Started doing the drawings. Found a way to make sure they are scaled and I am modelling 1:1 scale. Probably take a few weeks to get all the stations done and into inventor due to limited time. If I can do one station per day, will be happy.

HI Guys,

Here is the 3d scan I did today of my hull. What I will do next is model this, then put planes through to match the stations on the drawing and tighten it up as this hull is a bit warped as its fibreglass.
