The coolingribs

A distinq feature of the bottomside of the hull are the coolingribs and they need to be on the model. For this I took polystyrin profiles 4mm width and 2mm thick. To get a good glueing result I shaped the profiles with the heatgun and pressing them to the hull, after cooling the stayed in the shape they need.
