Hi everyone,

I signed up primarily to gain access to the plans shown here https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/...-1779-1793-in-scale-1-48-by-jc-lemineur.2727/ to be honest with you guys.

But I figured now that I'm here I might as well say hello. I am an (almost) complete newbie but the plan is to build a concorde class ship using paper and cardboard, entirely from scratch.
It will be progressing very slowly since I'll only have time to work on it on Thursday evenings.

If anybody has any tips & tricks that would be great. Especially some good links to recommended building material with reasonable shipping costs to Germany would be pretty useful, as I have no idea where and what to buy :)

Cheers,
edr

Maybe here you can find some info from an expert

The plansets look really awesome. I am currently thinking to make a first attempt based on what can be seen on the pictures you posted. If this goes reasonably well and I keep being motivated I'll probably buy the full set and build a wood model. But being a father of three, this plan is really long term lol.
