In Response To: Strip: break away forms (gary moss)

: I have transferred the co ordinates to a paper plan, my question is
: on the break away forms for the deck on the guilimot how low
: from the top of the forms do i cut the break away point, and on
: how many forms ? Gary.

Gary,

The height of the cockpit recess (where forms 8, 9, and 10 are broken or cut) is given at the bottom of the offset table on page 54 in Nick's book. I drew a horizontal line across each form at this height on my paper forms. BTW, I found this a little confusing during the drawing phase of my project also, but after I started to put things together it all made more sense.
