S&G: Building the Hybrid Night Heron *Pic*

Hello everyone,

Here's the Hybrid Night Heron I've been working on and a few photos of the build process. I still don't have the instructions so I may be at this stage for a while. I don't know how it's supposed to be done, so the forms are currently held in place by having a loop of wire pass through the bottom of the form between the panels at the keel with a dowel underneath. I'm not sure exactly where the forms go. I used the rough measurements (4' 7' 10' and 13' back from the bow) and sort of moved them up and down from there. They still don't seem to line up quite right. We'll see what happens.
