What card ?
« on: October 24, 2013, 10:47:31 pm »
Evening all...I'm building HMS Tean (model boats plan) and some of it requires card...I'm wondering what card would be best and how to get nice sharp corners ? I've had a go but I'm not entirely happy with the results.
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't take much styrene topsides weightwise to add instability.
