Once that was done, we took 1" thick sheets of styrofoam panels (available at hardware stores) and attached them to the frame so that they would bow out, forming the look of the hull of the ship. The overall frame would be about 4 feet wide at the base and about 8 feet long from the back of the base to the front of the bow where the sides would join each other.Īll of the 1x2x8's were simply joined together with wood screws. That side would obviously be the bow (front) of the ship. The frame was like a lopsided pyramid that had it's peak stretched to one side. One of the photos attached will give you a pretty good idea of what the frame was like. Unfortunately, there's no photo of the frame before we started to cover it, but I can tell you that we used some 1x2x8's and cut them to lengths to form a frame that our styrofoam panels would be attached to.
