I have been able to fix the mottled look by printing new segments on plain paper rather than card and gluing the new skin on. I am up to the window on the port side.

Most printers can print both letter sizes of paper. The paper tray is adjustable , but you might have to also make an adjustment via the printer's software controls

The mottled effect was the result of the printer ink not holding up under curling and folding. Right after printing the colors were excellent. (A photo of a newly printed page is below ) I now know that I should have sprayed the printouts with something. If someone can recommend a good sealant I would be thankful. I think the mottled look gives the Nautilus an aged look so I am not too unhappy with it.
the model was designed for US letter size paper so that is what I used

The hull is finished. I discovered that what I thought were portholes on the side are actually for the shaft for the diving fins. See parts marked D1-D7 on the diagram in my first post. The fins are not shown in the assembly drawings and are barely discernible in the photos. I finally figured this out by referring back to some websites of the Nautilus.

Keith, thanks for the tip. I wet the last inch of thread in CA glue, which makes it stiff, like a needle threader. Works great.

Attached blocks around the foremast.
And finally able to attach the fore fife rail. It's going to be difficult to get to those blocks.

Now all 4 channels have their deadeyes and the backing plates have been painted. Main fife rail installed. Now I can finally start using thread!
