Hi All,
What I am trying to do is make the section of the keel that is behind the lower floods, fore and aft. I have achieved the forward ones.
This is the effect I am trying to duplicate, from another modeler:
In Tore's earlier post he showed this picture:
In this image, on the aft end of the pressure hull, both above and below you can see a frame with flood holes in it, presumably along the centerline of the hull.
I have highlighted it in this close-up of the same image here:
The purpose of this detail on the model is simply to make it so you don't see straight through the floods from one side of the ship out through the other side without seeing a mock-up of the internal structure of the ship.
All subsequent schematics posted do not show this detail.
Perhaps it is not really there?
I believe at this point I will simply fake something in; the detail is not actually important as no one will be able to directly see it.
