This time I wanted to try a , may be easier, different way. I got a paper craft model of the Hunt Typ II (ORP Slazak) from JSC in 1/400.
As the model is in 1/400 I had to increase the size of the parts by about 30%. After doing that with a photocopying machine I started building the model like explained in the assembly instructions. The only difference being to fill all the hollow spaces with extruded polystyrene to make it sturdy enough for casting.
The next step was filling and sanding to get a rough hull
Next the paper hull sides were glued in , before that I punched out all the bulleyes to get them 3d for casting.
Many more pictures of the build solar on: link |

Neat! I like watching these come together. It will be interesting to see how starting with a paper model works out. That's about 11" long? Posting progress day by day is a neat idea. I may copy that for a project I have in mind. |

It is about 28cm long so 11inches seems to be right |
