Where was the german site where the guy was building comercial card kits , but in plastic?

I plan to glue down all my formers to the keel plate . But "not" glue the slots where the go together. I read somewhere that helps prevent warpage. But what about where the keel plates sections meet? Should they be solidly mounted together? We're talking waterline model with typycal multi piece...

Kit didn't have any. Any ideas? I think when the french first took it it had Hellcats and Avengers. In which case I could buy a gambier bay and downscale the planes to 300th

It looks interesting and Im thinking of building it.

I've almost completed the Maly Orp Burza. A poor choice for a first build, but Im aactually getting decent results. My choices are DN Fuso , or GPM Graaf Spee. Both have comparable instructions but Im leaning toward the GPM due to the simpler hull sides and super structure. Any insight?

Which pages should be laminated to 1mm and which should be printed on paper? Im not seeing it in the instructions. I think the parts are grouped to facilitate that by page. Gary

I keep eyeing my stash of resin and streyne ship kits. I am not getting anything close to satisfactory results. I think a bigger scale is the key for me if the Admirable is any indication. Someone recomend a preprinted 200th kit. Preferably destroyer sized and armed so it keeps my interest. I...

With their non typical frame style. My first go wound up too wet installing the outer deck. So I tried it again laminating it first , but now Im warped lengthwise.. Obviously theres a trick. I wish they just used normal formers. Any tips?

Just when I was about to give up and go back to exclusivly plastic. If I could just get one hull assembled! The Admirable's hull came together for me. No substitute for good instructions aand quality parts. Thanks Roman , paper modeling is possible.

Im building this ship and having a difficult time with the hull sides. Has anyone else built this? Im finding it difficult to get smooth sides and thinking there needed to be more lateral hull sections. Any input on constructing this hull and any problems and your solution would be he :( lpfull

I was thinking , why not print out railings on clear acetate? Look better than paper and way cheaper than etch. Anyone tried this or similar?

Just ordered these two kits. Any opinions on their accuracy or design? Any pics of either built up or the sheets sspread out? My first commercial paper kit buy. thanks Gary

I'm building a Graff spee I downloaded now and discovered card modeling is possible.. However , my edges dont look so good. I did find however with the hardened glue my cardstock (110 lb) is sandable. So I took my turret out and sprayed it Tamiya haze gray. Im thinking about painting all but the...
