V108 1/150 scale

I've been working on the V108 enlarged to 1/150 scale. Here's the progress so far:

I enjoyed looking at your photos.
The Digital Navy V108 was my first paper/card project, seventeen years ago.
I decided to build it as a "trial run" to see what card ships were like.
Like you, I enlarged it to 1/175, because I thought it would be easier.
The paper hull frustrated me so I built the next two ships using balsa wood for the hulls.

Nice to hear it wasn't just me who struggled with the hull on this.

Hello, as with another follower I got this kit a couple of years ago and started it as my first attempt at building a paper model. I chose to do it as a waterline model to avoid constructing the curved bottom. My upper work is at about the same stage as this build. I will follow your progress in the hope that I will get motivated to restart mu build.

I think that was one of the last ships I have ever done.It turned out rather good and I gifted it to someone.I did waterline version since I never had any luck with underwater parts.

How many pages is it in 1:150 scale?Do you think you can post it in download section for those interested?

I'm printing on 11x17 inch paper. I just enlarged the original pattern by 130% when printing to get to 1/150. You can use the calculator here to figure out enlargements:

Scale Calculator :: ZarkovModels Card Models Store


I forgot to add that it is still only two pages to print out. The only difference is they are 11x17.
