After the fiasco building the underwater section of Spruance and not being Polish or called Christoph I wanted to try and get a reasonable hull for lesser mortals like me. I have cheated a bit this one does not have a sonar bulge.
It done the usual Metasequoia Pepkura way so I will not bore you with that.
I used a Pritt Stick to laminate the card onto the backing sheets no fuss no mess. Stuck the waterline plate to the building board with Selotape checked everything was going to fit and having finally found a bottle of controlable super glue (Loctite Gel Control) used that to glue it together fit of formers is deliberately a bit slack, no stress.
At this point having tried to put the deck camber into the model I braved my wifes ire and pinched her two handled wooden rolling pin laid the deck on the carpet and rolled the camber into it. Worked a treat having carefully washed said rolling pin stuck it down with superglue. With a curved deck it's no good just piling books on it you have to weight the edges.
OK this is nothing new so far.
