Ship Building Techniques?

[MrTools]

I have had a project in mind for a while to build a cargo ship (I don't want to spoil anything by giving away the name). However i am not to experienced making a good hull. I would like to get the basic bottom part of it done before going any higher.

I am looking to make it brick built and to about this shape, only on a larger scale.

Thanks for your help.

A good way to make a brick built hull is to work in layers.

First establish the primary shape of the very front of the ship and build one side at a time using 1 by X# bricks to get the curves right for each layer of the hull.

Take a look at my MODULEX container ship to get an idea, its brick built and layered, the front is made of 1 by X# bricks to get the shape right.
