My first scratch built model using bread and butter wooden hull using the Glazebrook plan. Seen here moored at New Brighton's original pond circa 1970's. Used two brushed motors (ex WD per Bert Ault) driving my own gearbox to drive the four props. The radio (27Mhz) and ESC were all home made and it used a small motorcycle wet cell lead acid battery.

Wow Dave, with the internals as described this is one heck of a build. Somewhat outside my scope. Respect.

Hi Ron
I have never built a Half-Hull model but I suspect the method is identical with just one side of the vessel being produced. The pic really shows the layer principle to good effect so thanks for sharing. Is this a pic of one of your outputs? dave976 ▲

Is this the same method used when making a Half-Hull model?

Hi RodC
Bread and butter refers to the use of flat planks of wood laid from the keel up with the hull outline marked and cut to shape. A line is then drawn about 1 to 2 ins inside the original line and cut to shape. The planks are then laid on top of each other and glued in place to complete the hull often using one set for port and another for starboard. Once complete and set the hull is sanded to final shape and the internal excess wood removed to give a strong hull. As hermank says this is not that popular today but in the 1960/70s we used what we had and I had acquired a large supply of pine planks from a fire damaged ballroom floor that fitted the bill perfectly especially when glued with Cascamite. dave976 ▲

putting pieces of wood together which have the approx shape between every piece of wood you put glue( butter) the wood is called the bread.
when the whole hull is made you have a lot of sanding to do to obtain the ideal form of the hull. I don't think that this method is still popular. ▲
