It doesn't look like much but this is the foredeck core and improvised deck mold. I used thin plywood to capture the exterior shape of the deck. Then froze that shape with five layers of glass. The surface is then sealed with carefully laid out packaging tape. Tomorrow is glassing and bagging the assembly together. For some reason I had one of the chamfers backward in my head and had to trim the balsa more than once to get it right. A little hot glue to keep the small pieces together. The plan is 2-core-2 with heavy woven glass. Then 555 resin. I also printed out the blank templates that will be used for tracing the main cabin cutouts. Smoked Acrylic is the current plan here. A thanks goes out to Paul Patterson at Fisheries for hooking me up with an account and in general helping me out a bunch. (The 3m marine specialist)
