Heinrich der Seefahrer Posted November 3, 2018 #33 Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Hello Vialery V.! That is a real beauty in metal! The decission to avoid plastic sounds interesting. Because the wheelhouse bares a lot of problematic details as the decoration easy to solve with several layers of evergreen card. What is your reason to vote against plastoc - the reenaction of oldschool modelbuilding would also have avoided the lasercut bulkheads - so what is the reason for you crossing out plastic? Not only to be a critic questioner here a link for some great pictures to seversl detail problems that later will geather on and around the maindeck: http://navsource.narod.ru/photos/02/020/index.html Down under the example of the hullside stairs with gripping holes inside and the torpedonetpole's fastenings. Hopefully this helps a bit.

What is your reason to vote against plastoc - the reenaction of oldschool modelbuilding would also have avoided the lasercut bulkheads - so what is the reason for you crossing out plastic? There are several reasons for this approach. 1) The first reason is durability. Plastic is an unstable chemical compound. It is destroyed by ultraviolet radiation, temperature extremes, mechanical forces, etc. Metal and wood models have been standing for more than 100 years. lmagna, mtaylor, dj.bobo and 9 others 12 Quote
Valeriy V Posted November 4, 2018 Author #37 Posted November 4, 2018 2) The second reason is manufacturability. Many parts can not be created from plastic so that they are copied to scale. For example such ... aviaamator, lmagna, tarbrush and 17 others 20 Quote
Valeriy V Posted November 4, 2018 Author #38 Posted November 4, 2018 3) The third reason is the style of model execution. This style implies the refusal to paint many details. They will either be polished or anodized. dj.bobo, tarbrush, cog and 19 others 22 Quote
