RC Greek Bireme

[bensid54]

The start of my Big Bireme build, these are pictures of the keel and bulkhead templates.

Cutting the keel and bulkheads with my scroll saw.

[bensid54]

Cut ribs and keel, I'm lining the keel with African Sepili hardwood veneer because some of the keel will be exposed when the build is complete.

[bensid54]

Installing alignment dowels in some bulkheads that will be cut in half.

[bensid54]

bulkheads and deck beam glued and assembled.

[bensid54]

Bulkheads and deck backbone, the deck is where all build references will be based due to the fact I'm making it dead level.

Keel added. Carlisler I love your avatar.

The keel and bulkheads and the bundle of hull planking I cut from African Sepili hardwood. The hard wood is from scraps I got from my second job at a yacht manufacturing plant that made $25,000,000 boats, one per year. The electronics are from Hobby King and they will be the power of this build.
