Hey Andre,

here's a link to what I think you're asking about.

: I´ve been trying to construct my first papermade model of a S&G kayak to
: understand how parts get fixed together and to understand the points
: scheme. Yesterday, I made one my own and I´m going to do another until the
: moment I think I´m prepared to work with lines in the plywood directly.

: I observed that papermade model is simple to do, but lines must be traced
: exactly how they appear in the table of offsets. My first model is a
: disaster! There it is, all glued with adhesive paper.

: So, I have a doubt, looking at this little work: Parts must be glued side by
: side and need to touch each other from the bow to stern, without
: "trespassing" to other part? I mean: the parts must be glued
: straightly in the limits and a third part (adhesive paper, for example) do
: the rest?

: I´ll try another model...

: If someone has something to say, say it.
