French Le Terrible class super-destroyer

Mikey,
She's about the same size as a Liberty ship!!
Nikki

 

About the same length.
But not nearly as wide, or heavy.
But a lot faster..

Question. When you stick the plan deck levels to the wood do you guys remove it after or do you just paint over it. ?

 

I use Elmer's glue to put them on.
They generally come off pretty easily.
But if they don't want to come off, just dampen them.
Mikey

 

Thanks Mikey . I'll do that for the Missouri I am building.

 

I have seen folks glue the paper on the decks a long time ago.
I thought it looked like a neat way to go about it. But I always liked
drawing out my own decks after making sure that everything was correct.
That is how I did my Hood.
But that takes a lot of time, and it seems that I do not have that kind of time
now-a-days, so if I want to get to build the occasional ship in-between maintaining
my fleet, then I am having to come up with some tricks to get the work done in less
time.
This works out well, and is rather easy.
Just make sure that the drawings are the correct size.

Mike,

What color grey are you using? Our two Frenchy's might as well match when they meet on the water.

Windows are cut. Deck edge is cut, and glued in place.
Shafts are in. Rudder is in.
Color is Behr exterior flat. Gray area # 4560
It will be fun running with another destroyer.
