We know you have a great attention to detail from your previous posts and work.

Just thought these 101 Topics may help, just in case you haven't seen them.  While not for hard dodgers, I think the Lessons Learned and some details are just as applicable to both hard and soft dodgers.

Thanks Stu! Will read thru it. For reference my dodger was 63" from cockpit floor.

A little progress, got the surface of the dodger that goes on the cabin top modelled. Now I can keep modeling the rest. FYI, this is 7.75% of the full size.

What's the process/particulars to scan and produce the file???
Twenty years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines.  Sail away from the safe harbor.  Catch the tradewinds in your sails.

Lookup the EinStar Vega on YouTube, but the short answer is scan with a 3D scanner capable of capturing point cloud data.
