Now that all parts are already trimmed (i.e. cut to the nearest boundary), the so-called "Pen" display mode in Rhino may be used to its full potential. All polysurfaces of the 3D model are closed, no exceptions here. This „Pen” mode would also serve for producing any desired number of perspective or 2D projections.

In the process, the weather deck (koebrug) structure has been completely rearranged by replacing all carlings, ledges and deck planks.
 

 

 

 

 

 
 

Next thing Chris you'll be speaking Polish ....😆

Wow! The Hellcat got selected as Picture of the Month at Paper Modelers. I was kind of shocked when I saw it there -- it's quite the honor.

Cockpit construction continues.

Happens  too me all the time lol

Don't think it is useful to continue this thread: Peter's first post dates 2018, his total post-count is 2, and his last visit to MSW was early 2020.....
 
The 3D pictures are parts from shapeways: Ships - Shapeways Miniatures
Not a kit, but parts you can use to upgrade your own scratch model

And off we go again! I still have USS England on hold for the moment while I look into to getting some after-market parts, so for now I have decided to go with the hot hand and take on another airplane project. This time I will be tackling Halinski's Messerschmitt Bf-109E-4, a 2007 issue depicting the mount of Walter Oesau of JG 51 in 1940. I chose this kit for several reasons:
I feel like I need a contemporary for my recent Spitfire Mk Vb. The Emils had largely been replaced by the Bf-109F in Luftwaffe service by the time the Mk V came into service, but close enough. Believe it or not, I don't have a single Luftwaffe plane in my finished collection as of yet, nor even a Luftstreitskraefte mount. It shouldn't take too long to build. It's a Halinski -- 'nuff said. But it's also not hugely complex by Halinski standards. It's small, so unlike the Hellcat, it will fit on one of my shelves.  
Okay, on to the kit! Halinski kit covers always feature artwork of the kit subject in action. Sometimes the subject is shown in an interesting flight attitude. This is one such kit.
 

 
The kit features Halinski's usual high-quality graphics, including realistic weathering.
 

 

 
An unusual feature of some Halinski kits is that some parts are printed on the inside back cover.
 

 
Plenty of CAD diagrams are included.
 

 
And to round things out, I have the laser-cut frames (two frets) and molded canopy (but not the resin wheels).
 

 
So, first thing to do will be to seal the parts sheets and rummage through my paints to see if I can find some edge colors, otherwise it'll be off to Hobby Lobby tomorrow. Look for first cuts soon!

With respect to the EZ-line: Do you use the thin (0.25mm) or the "thick" (0.5 mm) version?

Or he needs starting a very large, very complicated model with lots of tiny parts, so that he is busy at least three weeks. 
Having said that: actually I like these slightly less complicated models more than the very complicated ones: they have the looks and feel of a good model, and they are not afraid of showing that they are made of paper.
