Conquer that learning curve! 😊

Is that a framed model with a bottom, a framed one on a triangular backbone, or a box-like internal structure?

JSC has some variations. 

And: did you also bought the laser cut detail set?

I'm pretty sure that "carton" is the German word for card or cardboard . The a cartonis is one who builds from card. The best wine to drink while building is  "Cardboardeau" Cheers.

Actually in this country wine is sold in carboard boxes hence the expression of "Chateau cardbord" when dealing with your favourite tipple.

4 years later and I finally started the “United States”.   I got tired of carving whaleboats. I guess i need to start a build log. I

have already made several mistakes; mainly in misinterpreting some tabs.  All recoverable though.

Does anyone have a recommendation for specific card stock at Staples, for example. They don’t specify the actual thickness. I am at a loss as to what to purchase.

I bought a pack of regular printer cardstock and poster board a while back and have had good luck with those.

 

Looking forward to seeing the United States come together.  It looks like you’ve got a good start!
