my wife has a cricut , if you give me the details of what you want and the size i can ask her to cut you a stencil

[Kevin Kenny]

Hi Anthony.

thanks for the kind offer but i have already ordered dry transfer for the lettering. Out of curiosity what material would she cut the stencil  out of .  The height of the lettering is just over 1/4” and the font is any serif font like Times Roman etc  THORN.

its a clear vinyl thats a little sticky

Happy if she can do one for me.

The difference between 1:48 and 1:96 scale. The larger frame is the HMS Ulysses. Thinking  about the scale but it worries me about the size of the finish model.

Well, it should be the double in all directions: eight times bigger !!! I love the 1/48th scale or the "Quarter of an Inch for a Foot", as they call it.

I would have guessed the large frame at 1:24.

Me too 1/24, however just watched your video so 1/48.

I think the larger scale would be much more impressive when done also easier to work with the larger parts.  Yes though, where to put it when done is an issue.
