    The top pic is looking aft from on top, sec. pic is looking head the bow, third is the starboard side, forth stern section was really hard to get right ! last is port side, I did make the recessed boat deck and the recessed hanger deck doors also. Next is final shaping of the bow and add the hard area braces , wrap the bottom and seaal it. While that is curing start the main deck and bridge.

    The first pic really shows the shape of the Wasp's asymmetrical hull. I wonder what kind of impact it's going to have on maneuverability?

    Yes the hull keeps playing mind games being that it bulges to one side and that makes it not the same as the other , I have to keep reminding myself that. I guess we will see when I get it on the water.
