I used two layers of styrene to vacuum form both bottom and top cabin parts.
I sanded the bottom cabin part with the wooden former still in as I could sand perfectly around the former giving maximum accuracy.
I also kept the top cabin with the chemi wood former in but I then marked out the cut lines for the windows and the cut lines for the open back. Using my Vernier gauge and a small metal ruler I marked out the dimensions from my rhino drawings. Using the metal ruler with a bit of tack on the back and a shape blade I cut the windows and back exit out. It was fairly clean and needed a little bit of a sand
I then used Dichlo to bond each layer of styrene together on the cabin parts. I then sanded and primed.
I also decided to attach the supports to the bottom part of the cabin and used a thin metal rod and filler to create a nice smooth joint between the supports and cabin.
Update!
I have also made a small seating area in the back of the boat with small blocks of chemi wood rounded off. and sprayed with added matting agent.
I will now joint both the bottom and top parts of the cabin together with super glue and use filler to seal the gaps.
