This is an incredible kit. Wow, it's going to be really big.

The design is very similar to real ship's design. Quite intriguing.

I've never seen anything from this designer before, so I'll watch with great interest. You're doing a great job on her thus far Marco.

This is a build thread I've wanted to see for some time. You've put a great deal of work into this already. What kind of glue are you using Marco?

Hi Elliott,

I'm using a very standard acetone-based glue, and for some of the finer frames I occasionally use cyanoacrylate. The manila cardstock, despite being quite heavy, is very straightforward to work with.

Cheers,
Marco

I've looked around for similar kits, but as far as I know this is really a one-of-a-kind kit. It's quite fascinating to build it, because of the very authentic design.
