Getting the hull to fit the skirt was worth it, should of done this the first time.


I call this the "paper canoe", I love it when a plan comes together.




The tail was a little rough going at first, it's symmetrical with the front.





The paper bow fit perfectly, I forgot to click a picture of it's final fitting. I did the darts on the outside with a stapler to save time.



You can see in this picture why the tail had to be suspended from a hard hull. The Russians with the Mars hovercraft have a stacked skirt, the top one is Zodiac-like and foam filled. I don't know if it's rigid stiff foam or soft like a matress. I'm guessing it's stiff as I know of no soft foam which will not act like an open celled sponge and absorb water.
