Spied in the Enemy's camp

I recently joined that site as I feel that no matter the media we are all modelers (although I wouldn't mind playing around with some "um modells). One of the threads was on the worth of card models as research for scratchbuilt styrene or wood models. I have tried to enlighten them (points for post name) on the value of some of the framing structures we use (not dis-similiar to them). But the thing I wonder about is the scale differences. the 1/350th I can undestand as it seems a pretty standard plastic model scale for ships.. Could this be because of problems with molding larger pieces warpping?. In some ways I feel that the various modeling communities should reach a commonality of scales. Something that was reflected in the "Why so Many"thread
 
I think it's great! Word is getting around and it's great to have this site discovered by the ship modelers. Now, about the Cleopatra project on Kartonbau Larry...,

Best, Gil
 
I also visit this board and site frequently. I have to give a credit to the editor -Timothy Dike and his collaborators for keeping this site going - the site is updated very often. I could also learn a lot from them - especially when researching the Arizona.
 
Gil.....OK, OK.....I'm already feeling sufficiently guilty for not posting any progress pics of Cleo in so long! I promise to go home this evening and work on her! Actually, I've finished one of her anchors! Maybe I can get to the other two this evening! I would really like to get a little further along, then enter her in the IPMS Convention/Competition later this month!
