1/200 Buckley class Destroyer
hello!! this is my ship..........build from official plans ....the method of construction is the following: i glue a copy of the deck plan into the thin brown cardboard and then both of them over the white thick (1mm) cardboard..then i cut a little over the centreline in order to fold in 2...i check the edges of the deck to fit exactly and not the centreline of the deck!!...next with some drops of glue i ensured the stability .....then sanding the 2 pieces together gave me an extreme accurate deck!! ... the same was done with the frames....all the frames are 1mm inside the edge of the deck in order to put next the 3mm (width) stripes of the brown cardboard...i need it about 3 or 4 layers of these stripes to "dress up" the ship....in the photos are only the 2 first layers ....then i will brush resin to make it like plastic because the next step is to make a mold for resin copies....thanks all of you!!

some vital corrections and sanding
in my previous posts i have applied brown paper stripes in the hull...these were all removed because i was not satisfied with the result....instead i put cardboard 1mm in thickness...the result is amazing for me....the white thing on the deck is plaster which represents the transverse little curve of it....thank you all...
