so I think I will buy them for this model but I know some places have better quailty ones and some don't . I know a few people have suggested that syren has some good ones but while looking them up I noted that model expo has walnut ones andI think that syren's are boxwood or something and for the amount I need it seems to work out to less for the walnut ones but I don't know . -
scale is 1: 64 I think I could not actually find pre printed lans so I had to buy some and print them as to scale as i can which was wrong the first time so i had to do it a second time so at the size now everything that says it is 5 mm on the sheets measers to 4.5mm.
-
sorry ment to right 2.5 mm🙂
-
the sizes i need are 5mm and 2mm . (40) 5mm and (20) 2mm ,the ship i'm building is the 1977 USS Essex frigate ,I have made it three Essex's so far and I am quite happy with the improvements just adding a few things each time as I get better to make it better and this time i'm hoping to add deadeyes and blocks.
-
well this ship is scratch built, but another existing problem is i'm only 14 so i have literally next to no income so even if I sell it for 100$ I can start save up to get better tools. even if it dosen't sell for much there are like 6 in our house so i'm running out of room to keep them.

it is a plank on bulkhead.
-
hmm, but what is the best way to make them all square?
-
thank you i think i will buy them this time, but i'm hoping to sell the ship i am working on and i plan to get a mini wood lathe with the money . thanks.
