    I already built the frame, sprayed it with the expading foam and sanded it down to shape, but I'm not completely sure what to do next...help?

    Sounds like a question to ask in the I-400 Hull thread in the Warship Builds section of the forum.

    Next step is a thin coat of bondo. Then sand smooth. Repeat until the shape is exactly what you want.
