Couldya, wouldya, pleaseeeeee! You have been a true help already, but if you desire to help me to take this little beasty to the next level, I promise to share the glory withya!

I would like to see her done up by a mfg as a full hull, 1:200 scale w/barrel set and PE. I am a detail nut and I like to use all thats available when building. Have been searching the net and reading up on the history of this grand ole gal, was surprised to see that the name would go on to ID...

Mousemuffins1 thanks for you kind words, it is ashame that you feel you are not happy w/your builds of paper ships. I bet you could build if you just take your time and do not compare to others:thumb:. Each time you build and complete, you will notice your skills getting better and better...

Thanks Teamski, I was alitttle worried I might be moving too fast, I have a GPM Graf Spee wanting it's turn on the build dock, but I will not start until done with this one. I like this little ship and has enough detail to make her interesting.

Used the Vallejo paint, outstanding, use their thinner and mix to like milk and the stuff slides on as if sprayed. If you have not tried, check it out and see if you can use. Did not swell paper nor bleed. Look the photos over and you will see what I am talking about. Remeber, this is a water...

2ndary deck glued up and attached to deck. Will paint out the white areas tonight. Did install wrap for 2ndary deck in a differant manner than called for, which shows you gluing as a single piece. I cut mine into three parts and glued, was easier this way. Mocked up a Turrent, now I know the...

Hull glued up, found a few areas that required attention during build, check and double check, deck, hull bottom, and hull plating. Too keep that semitar, "don't know if spelled right" you get the idea, bow, you may have to do what I did and add a filler piece at the stern. On the 2ndary deck...

paperboy, I like what you are doing, and the deck board planking detail is one of those details that makes a project sing. Just like Mikey said "I likey". Keep the post coming. I hope to build the USS Tennessee in the future. I also like your outlay of parts options you listed from other...

You are my hero eib, by the way I like those Orange Men too!

Hey guys, this guy is a artist, but you know how he got that way, he built, and after that he looked them over and if he saw a mistake, he took note and built. You have to understand, the European's are lite years ahead in the field of paper modeling. They were building in paper way before we...

Does anyone have an idea about where one might aquire one of these kits, or a set of drawings to copy the parts. This is one of those kits that you really would like to build but alas, no longer around. These really can be built to a high standard w/addtional attention, ie: frame requires...

:mrgreen:Dry fit of parts for hull, a little trim here and there and ready to glue. I know the purple area is to be cut out to allow you to install moveable gun turrets, but I have found that if people know they will move, they just have to see for themselves, you find your little prize...

Dave, what you are looking is a neat little item I found at Hobby Lobby, a magnitic cut board. There is a mag. ruler that comes w/mat, but the small disk you are seeing are small magnitics I use in Balsa Airplanes from Easy Built Models. You would be surprised at the differant ways you can use...

I had some time yesterday and installed the hull frame work using 1mm fiber board. Getting ready to laminate the deck to 80lb business card stock from a print shop. Here is a tip: Go to your local print shop, take the guy a cup of coffee and ask if he will let you have scrape material. great...

Thanks, it did not look that way yesterday. I just clean-up before a photo shoot:cool:

Thanks for you kindness to help. After re-reading I understand what is ment. I thought I had said something wrong and it is not my intent to offend any- one.

Thanks for the welcome, I just do not know how or what was ment by "Yea right"? I am always open to help and or suggestions, however God did give me a brain to use to decide if the advice given is usable. The Merry Christmas is to convey my hopes for all Man kind to know peace and joy. So...

My Vote I am so impressed that in todays world someone like Digital Navy will make available free downloads to help you learn and prepair you for those big projects. That you take the time and effort to do so, you sir are a Gentleman and I tip my hat to you. Now for my vote, I agree, the USS...

This will be my first post on the forum. I am returning after many years of other modeling interest. However, I still find these paper models interesting. I down loaded the Digital Navy's Dreadnought and thought this would be a good start. I have attached two photos, the first one is of my...

I have read thru the complete thread from start to finish and I by no means am one to tell someone that has done the job you have what you need to do, your are light years ahead on skills, I can offer this advice, it is clear to me you have the ability to solve problems just by the idea of what...
