Frank has a cool method to waterline models. He did a fantastic job with his Nile vessels: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=34615.msg413650#msg413650

Thanks Paul,

I previewed it on Google and it has a couple of good chapters about late XVth century naval warfare in Northern Europe and the Eastern Med.

The paper ships can be printed to scale and used as a mould to build a fantastic ship like this one made from Versatile Reddiprene modeling material: http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/joedever/Salute%202010%20-%20Part%20One/Salute2010-069.jpg

Damn, I want that ship.

You can build one :D I asked if they had a tutorial and they gave me this info:

"Hi Nuno
 
The ship was scratch built from 100% model Scenery sheets, all except the masts.
The bulk of the ship was made from 3.0mm sheet clad in 0.3mm sheet strips,
The sails were 0.3mm sheets glued together, heated up with a hot air gun and "scrunched up" when un wrapped it looked like canvas.
All the shields on the side were moulded from 3.0mm sheet by heating up the sheet with a hot air gun and pushing a reverse mould into the sheet leaving the imprint of a shield which was cut out when cool,
Finally the water and waves were the best bit
Strips of 3.0mm sheet were glued together onto a 3.0mm base, These strips were laid out like waves within an ocean.
When the glue was set I carved the wave effect out of the stacked strips and finished off with an abrasive wheel in a small hand held grinder.
Hope the helps.
 
Regards,
