US Frigate Essex - 1:50 [COMPLETED BUILD]

awesome I have a few ships to copper I didn't fancy the idea of cutting and sticking all those plates on. will try your method of whole strip
I'm very pleased with the method. It is much quicker and easier than the individual plates and I don't see any real difference in result. I've had no problem with tearing, but you do have to be careful about twisting when the strips are long. I try not to remove too much backing at one time to avoid that.
 
Thank you for the information. Will keep all this in mind when I get started. Doing them one at a time would be a drag with all the repetition. I think it would cause some folks to hurry through the job and maybe not pay attention to how they lay on the hull.
