Cutting before or after laminating


Richmond

Recommended Posts

On wooden ship scratch builds, I have noticed that builders cut the printed bulkheads to shape including the slots  and then laminate the bulkheads to the wood, cutting the wood around the then laminated bulkhead . Can this practice be followed on card builds and does it provide benefit.

Sure can Richmond. However if you can find laser-cut bulkheads for your kit it makes short work of a very time-consuming job.
