    Here is Ship hull we did for the live show :)
    Its really a nice way to capture a 3D shape and bring it to life
    Check out the live show for how it was done.
    1/4" foam with 1/8th bit
    You could always slice this with 1mm and really pickup the detail, but really a little Spackle and some sanding and it would look great the way it is :)
    Happy sailing :)
    Mark and Trish

    Hi Mark and Trish,

    Great show about a great method for producing complex surfaces that could also extend upwards from that flat deck as deck houses, stacks and the saddle shape of decks that curve upwards from end to end and downwards from side to side. Your composite foam layered hull is too large for pop-pop boats, but very suggestive of developments yet to come.

    Best wishes, Frank

    That would be perfect and for weight savings you could have the insides already hollowed so that you are stacking rings instead of a solid square for instance.
    Thank you for the kind remakes Frank :)

    BTW any ideas on how I would Spackle this? (type, water down,etc..)
    I was thinking we could do half to show case the technique.

    Hi Mark & Trish,

    Go to http://www.taskboard.com/ for information about an outrageously overpriced hobby material called Taskboard, which is nothing more than unbleached pulp board. Manufacturers of disposable diapers, rayon, cellophane and cellulosic sausage casings buy huge rolls of this stuff to feed their machines and chemical processes- and some owners of phlatprinters might do it too, instead of using sheets of eps foam.

    Best wishes, Frank

    Hi Mark & Trish,

    Your Sliceform Ship Hull was assembled a slice, or layer at a time, the same way some of the so-called "rapid prototyping" machines work. Go to http://tinyurl.com/ybn6hrx for YouTube video of a not so rapid prototype machine that cuts its slices from sheets of copy or typing paper. You have probably seen video, or read about this not so rapid prototyping machine before.

    Best wishes, Frank

    This is exactly how it works :) I think it would be cool to do a show with the 1mm foam on a roll and print in a slice forum with that.
