HMS Triton (Cross Section) 1:48 by selittle


Recommended Posts

Are the frames going to be exposed?  If so, don't use plywood, you'll see the layers.   Look for a tight-grain wood.  Popular woods seem to be cherry, boxwood, pear, apple, (ok.. any fruit wood), maple.  It's really your choice.  I wish we had a Woodcraft where I live... or any woodworking store for that matter.  <sigh>

Chery has seemed to work well for mine and Maple for the planking as such. I is really your choice. As Mark said a tight grained wood work well for model at this scale (fruit woods). Pick something you like and go with it, it is your model and you are the one to please.
