okay, the boat skeleton is done! time now to do the planking with very thin balsa wood..

Then the actual build of the boat begings..
first gluing all the transversal bars to the central plastic frame
then gluing each of the 2 top planks on the front of the boat

I then got all those transversal parts...
you will note that i left the paper with their numbers near, i also used an indelebile pen to mark them because it would have been complete chaos if I was about to meddle them.
On to next step which will be gluing the skeleton of the baot, and then a bit of planking :)

...Then I really hate having to cut thick plastic, my fingers are covered with scars after 25 modeling years, i want this to stop.
What is softer than plastic and can be cut easely? yep, dry mastic will do.
I then proceeded to apply some coat of mastic over the outlines of the transversal parts of the boat. i flattened them with a greased wooden surface and let dry for a few hours -not to few because you will have the feeling of cutting through butter, not too long because Magic Sculp is a fairly fragile kind of mastic and breaks easely

Okay, now for the tricky parts to make: i indeed want the boat to be stranded and partially destroyed on a beach, i therefore have to make those wooden transversal parts whose name i never learned.
First trying to measure them and to use a drawing software to outline all 17 of them
