Eib - Isuzu is about 32 inches, so pretty big. Nothing compared to that Arizona, though!
I've even found a spot to display her when she's finished.
I've also found something that I actually dislike more than cutting out tank tracks - cutting through 2mm thick card! The stand is made out of that and I've burned through around 20 Excel blades cutting all this stuff out so far. I'm glad the laminating seems to be pretty much over now.
I'm really debating what to do with the hull. I'm wondering what would happen if I just glue it together without extra support? I'm thinking I probably wouldn't like the results. The slab idea might work and I'm also thinking of expandable foam insulation carved and sanded down to shape.
First I'll cut out the pieces and see how they fit.
Carl - thanks very much for bringing up your build thread. I finally did find it over on "the other forum" - I'm just glad the pictures didn't get deleted as happened to so many other threads there. You have solved my problem with the funnels! Yours look great and now I know how to do those wires that wrap around them. Any idea what those are for?
I'm currently waiting for glue to dry, so here are my latest pictures. Not much yet to show really...
