Thank You, Sir Royaloak.

This simple jig is effective, but requires a lot of cold blood - not always Cyan-acrilic glue can seal copper wire to the cardboard (reason unknown), thus causing frustration and irritation. One can expect, that gluing wire to wire can be difficult, but it is not.

Another problem is sealing the hand-railings to the deck. In this case, it was easy: hull planking extends ~1mm above deck edge, and hand-railings are just glued to the internal surface of this extension. But what if we have just straight, smooth deck, and visible large drops of glue are the last thing we need? Punch some holes in the deck and try to glue-in the posts? I'm not sure if desired 0,1mm precision can be obtained (both in punching the holes and placing the posts in jig)?

Hi Bart, that is good news, and where will your creative constructor mind go next?

Definitely back to Modern Naval Warfare and e-cards models, including some 1/400 series.

All this, after finishing ongoing projects in 1:100 and two 1:200.



September issue of Marine Modelling International was released with some kind of free "paper model/paper toy":

I'm considering writing a "letter of interest" to them. But after reading of Marine Modelling International and Model Boats, I'm not sure if ship paper modelling in UK exists the same way as in Central Eurpe (i.e. Poland).
