TreehuggerI am sure I looked at the wip photos some time earlier, but I am wondering: How do you shape the bigger wave frequencies, and how do you shape the smaller wave frequencies?

Frank SpahrThanks a lot to you all, much appreciated! I produce the wave patterns of my bases by heat application only. I use a gas burner (only with proper ventilation and very carefully!) to shape the troughs of the waves, after marking the approximate shape of the hull on the foam board. Having done the wave pattern, I only then cut the base to size and only then make the cutout for the hull.

Frank SpahrDanke Euch! Ja, Styrodur aus dem Baumarkt, so dünn wie es zu kriegen ist. Habe seit letztem Jahr ein Schneidegerät dafür, das hilft sehr.

Well, um, it´s actually not really rated as completed in my head, as the model hasn´t been attached to the base yet. The fit is quite snug, though, and I can´t see any problem with it remaining as is for a while, until I am quite sure I don´t want to make any corrections to it.
