I have made a few ships with 6 mid-sections they always looked like a canoe
as stated by someone else. so about four months ago i did cut the hulls apart
and now have ships that look great. i used my band saw with a 1/16 wide blade
and the cut was perfect. i will soon have a web page and post this pics when
i do.
thanks matt
