First of all, i am not trying to cash up on current craze with the card models, that seem to spurt on the forum. I collected these models since 2006 and as my interests are constantly shifting, i have a few that i probably never would touch.

so here they are

I really like your enthusiasm. Even though i dont like the way the old ships looked like, the work you doing is very neat and you did great job altogether. And i love the way you did the barels. Also tung oil have put the decks into next level(visualy)

keep up good work.

Happy 4th of July, all! 

I have seen a great meme for this...

Happy Treason Day, ungrateful colonists... lol

regarding the hull plating, the reason might be, that you have a stable point of reference. Upper hull plating consists of one plate for each side. It is easy to trim bottom plating to matching angle, when you only need to take a little sliver off. Its substantialy harder to achieve straight line with many sheets, isnt it. 

You know, good thing with this kit is, you can start over any time. If you not happy. Some people redo parts numerous times out of wood, paper is so much cheaper...

Ahem, USSR are long gone...

Japanese ships vere littered with these binoculars. Ive seen when someone built yamato, he made so many of them... probably ´cos Japs didnt have radar...

i hope you didnt forget to make lens for those.

stuff you built 40 years ago would be of no problems nowadays. besides, i don't think that Chinese knock offs even existed by then...

but then, i am no moderator. maybe they will have different idea

well, that's easy. copy it b/w and paint over it... that's what i'd do. you only need to get the basic outline of the parts and than paint over them using acrylic...

Btw the kit is dormant for a good part of last 6years... thing with paper is, it doesnt go brittle, since its not painted it wont loose colours... i like paper model building for the fact that you need almost no tools.

the qualityof paper used for laser cutting is, as Dan Vad would tell you very good.

A little sneak peak to what you can expect from the kit. It also contain a few tubes of acrylic paint, which i swapped for different brand. The glue supplied is horrendous. If i have known what kind of rubish it is, i would have ditched it a long time ago.

please, do not consider start into the hobby. by all means, dive head first. it is the best you can do. besides doing other kind of fun stuff... ship modeling calms me down more, than when i used to do d... naughty things.

mark, i would not. please read the comment i wrote under your other topic.

well, i could say on my behalf, that its not easy, but also its not hard. i managed to build hull of the Le Coureur to relatively good standard, but poor choice of glue have prevented me from continuing it. one day i will take it apart and start over.

also, you have to be confident in doing your own paint job. kit is supplied on plain cardboard, all laser cut, you just have to assemble it and then paint it.

i would probably consider building something for the beginners first, as otherwise you are risking it turning into a quite costly fire-starting kit. that's meant to be when you fail, you start fire with it...

i don't mean to discourage you at all, just giving you a fair warning.

Regarding no tolerancies, i think you are meant to fair and sand the hull until it all fits exactly. That is meant for the bow and stern ends of keel. Pretty much, the sheet needs to fit from centre of one former to the centre of next one, with exception of the bow and stern.
