Well friends!
We started the construction of the Do-24, initially with the structures that make up the internal reinforcements of the fuselage/hull. By far the most complex I've caught so far testing Alejandro's models (I think it rivals maybe Stranraer). I used 3mm thick double laminated cardboard. All alignments were checked with a small 90 degree square. The collages were time consuming and sought to be as accurate as possible. Some adjustments needed to be made with sandpaper to make the parts uniform and without excesses.
Some parts to glue require the use of sewing and hair clips (made of tinplate, highly malleable and adaptable). Now it's time to wait 24 hours for everything to dry and start installing the coating.
