USS NEW MEXICO (BB-40) by SZKUTNIK - 1:200 - CARD

[SZKUTNIK]

Ahoy!

 

I have just started building of the model NEW MEXICO (BB-40) in scale 1:200.

Scratch model. The project is executed by software: Rhinoceros and Corel.

The model contains laser cut elements that I designed myself.

 

The Hull frames were made of 1.0 mm thick cardboard.

[SZKUTNIK]

Ahoy!

We start playing with the shell plating.

[Tony Hunt]

Wow, it's looking fantastic already. What sort of paper are you using for the shell plating?  It's producing a really fair hull.

[SZKUTNIK]

Ahoy!

 

Tony Hunt@  I use CANSON paper 160g. It is comfortable because the model does not need edge retouching.  😀
