    Bob,
    Can you give me some pointers on how to glass the casemate area of my SMS Nassau plug?
    Thanks,

    Bob,
    My only suggestion is take a 2 piece female mold from the plug and lay up the hull inside that. Doing the casemates from the outside and getting a nice looking result + adequate strength at the right angles will be extremely difficult.

    Thanks Bob. I'll try that and see how it turns out.
    Either that or make that area of the hull out of wood. Tht might not be a good idea.
