    I continue with the decks: Lower decks Upper stern deck Upper bow deck View from the bow. The upper deck is not glued yet, as I'm really unsure about the fit of the deck/flanks plating/underwater hull. I keep it unglued so I can make some dry assembly testing

    Oh yes you can touch it, I meant it cracks if you squeeze it in such a way that you would even damage a 'pure paper' hull ! @cdcoyle: it's not my pietropawlowsk and I don't speak polish:) But the pictures are self-explanatory...

    'Using Rhinoceros' Discussion Thread

    :roll: Here I come with stupid questions.... 1) Some parts as wingtips will never unroll, as the shape is partly spheric. But in real models, thanks to the relative 'flexibility' of paper, you get the correct shape. Now, how to achieve that in Rhino? Make the part slightly bigger? Model the...
