Hi don't know if I have put this post in the right area right here is a question has anyone ever sheeted a hull with cocca cola cans as am thinking of doing it instead of wood ?

Just wondering why you are doing that ? Is it because you want to show steel plating and rivets?

No one has done that where I am aware of it. Assuming the frame of your ship is providing sufficient rigidity so it does not flex (Many of the Plank on Bulkhead kits depend on the planking), you should be fine. If it does flex, you can probably provide some additional bracing to solve the issue.

Google "coca cola can model ships" for pictures. There are only a few for pepsi and none for rc cola. Maybe you can achieve some level of fame by being the first to use rc cans

Be careful. If you mix Coke cans and beer cans you may end up with a serious list
