    Hello from the US. I've subscribed and liked because I'm in the "gathering the resources" stage of re-entering paper model building. In 1982 I built a Dover Publishing Company Spirit of St. Louis and hauling truck combination kit. I remember the cardstock as being of very good card thickness in that no additional backing was needed. As I was just watching this video and seeing your use of various dowels, brush handles, and other sized items, I'd pause for a bit and scramble around my place for different sized diameters. I felt like I was on a Scavenger Hunt again from the 1950's! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello, your Merchant Navy os progressing nicely!
    I’ve managed to find a few photos of cards on the net:
    LMS Princess Royal
    LNER Sandringhm
    LNER A1
    LNWR 2-4-2
    SR Lord Collingworth (Lord Nelson class?)
    SR Merchant Navy
    Quality varies, but some issues can be corrected directly on the computer (contrast, colour saturation, brightness etc.)
    It’s a pity no one has uploaded them as printable pdf files. I can’t imagine there would be copyright issues after all these years… if I can get access to a decent colour printer (ours at home is on the blink😢) I’m going to print one out and see. What do you use in terms of papier/card ? 120g/sq metre ?

      I print on to standard photocopy paper then seal with varnish to seal the ink then stick that to a quiet fine card don't go to thick as it will be hard to roll or bend.go thin and varnish to add strength
