Bow Section

After slogging along and following instructions without really understanding, I came up with this apparatus:

Only after putting it together did I understand how it works! Hull strips come into the bottom, and deck strips come into the top, which would otherwise be "hanging in space" without them. The purpose and position on the "plug" between the top & bottom sections only became apparent when I actually made it. I got a better understanding of the "musts" and "cants" once I figured it out. 
The hot-melt glue joint between the temporary form and form #1 seemed a little wiggly, so I h.m. glued in some blocking. I think I can make the plug look a little more aesthetic by coping and sanding.
