The remainder of the bottom hull. No fitting issues all the way, a sigh of relief.
The rudder and propeller also came out alright. For the propeller I used a sanded toothpick head in place for the paper part (it's too small at 1:400 and not worth the effort, I always paint the propeller gold anyway so the colour was not important). The shaft was reinforced with a 0.8mm copper wire in the centre.
There is a design issue with the shaft. They are located way too close together. At some point I need to modify the file in the downloads section to fix this problem. For the build, I just hope nobody notices. (Forget I ever said this okay?)
As the hull lay on the table I noticed one problem. It's laser printed, and it's dark colour, which means... it's TOO SHINY! No worries, I thought, a layer of matte spray coat will do the job. So I did that and... it's still TOO SHINY! Okay fine, primer, modelling putty, goodbye Zio I am painting this thing
