Tradition rules at the back end of the Brede lifeboat hull. Although the keel incorporates some indication of shape I didn't fancy trying to build a framework to support a plywood skin here. No, I went for a couple of solid balsa wood blocks carved to shape.
The basic shaping was carried out with a surform and then finished off with sandpaper on a block.
The biggest problem was working out what shape this area is. I have one vertical in the middle and the plan view shows a slight curve. Apart from this I had to make it up. My result looks OK I think but I'm not confident it is perfect. Let's just hope no one notices.
