Method and apparatus for making articles with complex surfaces such as frames for boat model kits

摘要

A technique is described for the making of frames for an authentic plank-on-frame ship model kit. A wooden boat hull is made with a hull thickness that is the same for that of the frames. The hull has the internal and external surface contours desired for the ship model. The boat hull is then sliced at regular intervals to form individual segments representative of the desired frames. A set of frames is then selected from the sliced segments for an authentic plank-on-frame ship model.
