airdave, I ran a test print containing part of the camo hull and part of the darker hull, all with lots of rivets.
The results/resolution looks MMM, MMM, good! I wouldn't go much bigger, though. Probably 250% max if someone was inclined to do that.
Obviously this will be quite large on completion, something like the 1:100 Arizona that was recently complete on the groups.
I'm going to scale the formers this week. Not sure what I'll mount them to. keds_girl_lala has been using basswood for her Potemkin build. She likes it, the formers look and fit great, and she says it's easier to cut than laminated or thick card board. She's also been using florist foam between the bulkheads. sands easily (messy though) and can be pushed into the formers for a tight fit.
Man, she's been giving good advice.
I'll check the hardware store and Lowes. If it's easier to cut and will do the job correctly, I'm all for it. My hand cramp and tire quickly.
