philo426 Posted December 6, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Working on thinning down the bulwarks on the Harriet Lane and wonder how thin it should be brought down to.The plans call for 3/32nd but I wonder if it should be thinner.

ccoyle Posted December 7, 2015 Share #2 Posted December 7, 2015 Depends entirely on how thick the originals were. If the plans say 3/32, then that is probably the correct scale thickness. Since the kit is also in 3/32" scale, that indicates bulwarks 1 foot thick, which may be about right.on the original. Canute 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Altduck Posted December 7, 2015 Share #3 Posted December 7, 2015 I can't answer that directly, and don't know what scale you are working at, but if you have no reliable reference material, here's a suggestion: Convert the 3/32" to full size inches, hold your hands that far apart, and ask yourself "does that look reasonable?"

philo426 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted December 7, 2015 Thanks the kit is 1/128 scale so I guess 3/32 should be about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
