[SZKUTNIK]

Ahoy!

I have just started building of the model NEW MEXICO (BB-40) in scale 1:200.
Scratch model. The project is executed by software: Rhinoceros and Corel.
The model contains laser cut elements that I designed myself.
The Hull frames were made of 1.0 mm thick cardboard.

When looking at the finished hull, unless you knew it, you could not tell this was a paper built model, very nice looking.

Hello Kris! Man...I need some clarity...are the ladders and rails are also cardboard????? If you say yes...I am speechless.

 

[SZKUTNIK]

Jimsky - ladders and railing are made of paper. The railing is saturated with glue (Cyanoacrylate).
