Maharana, plz send me d plans, as I want to build one

Sb_Maharana

This tugboat is little critical in the sense (1) the deck is not flat, (2) the sidewall curved inward (3)  there is a step cut in the sidewall in between bulkhead 5 & 6.
Plan_1: More suitable for making fiberglass mould where I have eliminated the Keel which is projected at the stern. 
Plan_2: I have just given the line diagram of bulkheads and keel, you have study & compare this one with the original plan before cutting the bulkheads and other parts. 
The length of this boat 3 feet, around 1:25 scale of the original.

plywood is good, for this boat I used 3mm ply from local ply shop dat also ordinary one, I did not use any instant glues, but fevicol, which is used for wood, but the thing is it has to keep overnight to dry, for carves  I used to either clamp or nail.
