Nice build, thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed following your last card model build and have been waiting to see another.

Are you posting pics of your wooden ships somewhere? I am presently working on one as well for my brother. Its a scratchbuild of the tall ship Elissa out of Galveston.

I like to slip in card models as a break from the Elissa. I really want to start on a big battleship in paper, but I only have room for one large project at a time.

Hope you're all healed up by now Chris. And as far as wood goes - what is wood anyway but preprocessed paper?

Bluenoser, where did you get plans of the Elissa? I love that ship, every time I go to Galveston, I have to tour it and then eat in the restaurant over the water right next to it.

Don't know if I'll ever build it, but it would be neat to have plans!

The store has a side profile blueprint which you can buy, but does not provide any other sections or plan views. I dipped into my drawing collection and found another ship almost the same which had that information. I made a drawing where I used the data from the other plan and massaged it a little to fit the limited information on the Elissa blueprint.
The ship is iron/steel construction and I wanted to capture that appearance. I applied card stock over the entire surface to simulate that. I am quite pleased at how it turned out and it was fairly quick and easy.

Pics show as far as I got.

Thank you very much for the info. That's a beautiful hull!
