Brede plan


Brede plan

20 minutes with a photocopies in Ryman and I had the main parts of the Brede plan down to 1/24th scale. And then I did something sensible (for once) and made a copy of these.

The most important part seems to be the keel and the Brede seems pretty well suited for this. Toward the front there is an obvious line to follow. Likewise the bottom as long as I don't want to model the bowels of the vessel.

To make my life easier the cut lines have been heavily inked in first with ballpoint for accuracy and then over the top in the finest felt tip I had for clarity. Now I need to find some wood to stick it to.
