Russian torpedo boat KIT1899 or teaching modelbuilding

Hello friends

here a view aside towards my tabletop buildings in 28mm or 1/56 to show where time is also invested for modelbuilding:

Light Brown aquarellic paper with impressed lines and a repeated light touch of high quality water colour. This is my testbed for colouring the models keeping the colour in placed.

The Combination of the copied parts eats up a lot of time and so I will reconstruct only one side copying it to the mirrowed side.

If this sentence does make any sense at all.

I decided to enlarged the drawings by 312% to get my 1/64 parts in one piece, the errors are piling Up to inaceptable numbers! :-/

Back from the Copy Shop and invested into ink drawings:

so the lines do stay straight (as a laser xerox does warm the paper and it is wrapping in all directions when cooling) and I cut the DIN A0 sheet into manageable sections on an "under light table" with a wheel cutter:

So now we can restart the boat of the safe side...
So up she goes - and I can trust into this drawings enlarged by 312% from 1:200 into 1/64 scale.
