Hello Yu,
100 kilometers on your bike .... you are a champion! I admire your quest to build everything from paper/card on this project. Great work. Mike

Chris,
Thanks for dropping a note. You will be satisfied with HMV kits for sure. Glen, I found you live in near Spoken. I have traveled Seattle, Coos Bay, Bancouver BC and Portland 30 and 15 years ago and beautiful landscape still clinging to my memory Mike, I wish I could be a cardlinpic champion like Card Lewis rather than a bicycle champion. In the meantime, my favorite book is "Taming of the Glue" written by Wicolli Shakespaper Wilfried Contrary to your expectation my wife encourages me to ride a bicycle in order to make me healthier so that she can have me work longer…  A scale with scanning function shows my physical age is 39 years old. I’m getting younger

As thick rails bugs me a lot, I gave it a try to build it in other way.
First, cut scrap paper using two bladed cutter. Then put cut pieces in a way cut edge contact on the pattern sheet and assembled rails so that when view it from sideways after gluing on the ship’s deck it will look thinner than previous attempt. Finished test build but alignment isn’t satisfactory. I’m going to build several sets then select 4 sets out of them. This is time consuming but in one sense I’m killing time with this hobby so time consuming isn’t matter.

Hello Yu,
I always enjoy watching you invent something new. Two bladed cutters are a good tool for this type of work. From what I can see in the images, I think you are going to get a good result. New techniques always improve with repetition. Even your first attempt does not look bad. Mike

Hello Mike,
I’m building rails with the method depicted 3rd row in the attached first picture. Holding small and fragile pieces of paper makes me as sick as waiting a plane in the waiting room at Hanoi airport in a humid hot summer night sweating heavily where air-conditional is ineffective.

Greetings, Yu!
It's always a pleasure to see your working through a problem and sharing with us all the results of your efforts. I especially appreciated the little chart showing a comparison of the methods considered, that was quite informative, and hope the railings made using your third method work out the best for you! I am enjoying your thread and look forward to the next update! Cheers! Jim

Jim,
My explanation isn’t as good as yours that I would read and learned from it a lot about microscopic work though my limit so far is 1/400 scale. Joe, It isn’t a cutting-edge-technology but primitive tool. Place paper in between two flat blade cutters and fix them together with CA glue. By thrusting the two bladed cutters into paper you will have uniform width narrow strip of paper

Most excellent advice, illustration, and explanation, Master Yu. This is a useful technique and you have made it all very clear.
I have added all this information to my growing collection of the wisdom of Master Yu (二刃の書). Don
