Thanks chaps  :)

What thickness plasticard did you? Did you heat it? What glue? So many questions .....  :)

Two layers of 0.75mm. No heat applied though I could've used hot water. Normal dichloromethane (plastic weld) as the hull itself is printed in pla filament.
cheers

In the long run it's easier but it takes more time.

Some very neat work there. It certainly surpasses anything I could do!

Thanks  :)

The rear is done apart from the strip details (have to wait for material to arrive).

Will have an update later this week. After the head cold I had to work out of town for a bit which has put me back a touch.

Well, this update took a bit longer than I thought (head cold, wife in hospital for a bit then wife dropping hoover on the prow making me start it again  lol )

So, the prow is now done, just needs a bit of a clean up (the orange is primer filler) then I can finish off the hull details and paint it. Hooray!
