Thanx, but I did not understand everything what you said :o. My idea is to build strong and realistic model. It is hard to do that with metal, but I am unemployed now, so I have lots of free time for this hoby. My english is bad, but I hope the photo will tallk instead of me :D....

Compound curves are actually easier to render with metal sheets than paper with the right forming tools perhaps, since metal is much more formable than paper. It's interesting to see a papermodel built in sheet metal, I really suggest making this radio-controlled though [It's so solid it will be able to sink any ship by simply ramming them!

Hahaha, :D:D I totaly agree with you, your opinion is the same as mine. Metal is so greatfull for forming diferent kinds of shapes, but it is not easy. I am planing to make air carrier RC model, from metal, but dont now where could I buy this device... . Can you please help me with that:o

Wow, she looking really good. A leather bag of sand or pellets makes a good tool for banging compound curves if you have the right hammers. I worked with a guy who made a metal destroyer and incorporated a .22 calibre gun into one of the forward turrets. He says he never used it but it did smell of gunpowder.
