    [:)]I am marking out the VDT hull. What are the impenetrable areas on this hull? This is for fast gun. Anybody have a pic of thier VDT marked for cutting or cut out? I need a reference to be sure I am getting it right.

    I didnt realize that I didnt post a final picture of the bow after I had moved the ribs around. In the picture of the bow with the tape laid out I moved the first rib to the bottom point of the triangular casement. Then I moved a few more forward and then added distance in the midship to adjust it.

    HOW DID I MISS THAT? Thanks for taking the time to blog about your build. I just saw my first battle this afternoon and I've decided to build a VDT.

    Hey, Curt, any pics and tips of how you layout and cut your ribs would be a great help. I hope to have my hull within 4-6 weeks (or whatever the current BC turnaround time is). Thanks!
