I am presently scratch building a wooden ship model for my brother. It is the "Elissa" of Galveston Texas.
The ship is a steel/iron hulled vessel. I built the hull as a bread-and-butter type. I wanted it to have the look of the steel plating that exists on the real ship.
To do this I cut strips of Bristol Board, and then just glued it onto the hull.
