The construction began

I celebrated the coming of a new printer by printing out on card stock of 160g / m the boards the submersible.
The construction of the ribs did not present difficulties, I used cardboard (thickness one millimeter) sent to me from Poland.

The flash of the camera heightens the contrast and does not perform well in the colors of printing.

Tomorrow you will have better photos and the construction most advanced

This is the cowling of the engine compartment.

I realized too late that i have mounted the protective grille upside down.
The mediocre result of the bonding may (I hope) be corrected with the finish

Shame!... matt77
