update



billings did not give me enough planks to skin a 1/50 ship and none of the hobby shops
have the right size planks so i went with 3'' sheets,this works so much better

[offshore1987]

So how much are you charging me for this model once its done?  ::)

strange thing happened yesterday i went to staples to enlarge some
parts, well  i told the girl to enlarge the parts 150% and she did.
      well it looked like she made the parts 350%    now i know for the
hull and first deck i copyed everything at 150%  but now i'm wondering
if i made a mistake with my math or did the staples girl just mess up real bad!!!

My son used to work for Staples so it's a fair bet they messed up.
Yours does look 50% bigger than original or the original looks 2/3 the size of the new one, so I would think you are probably OK.

  Great work so far. Looking forwards to seing the finnished project.

Have often wondered why Billings did the Rotterdam at 1:75 and the Nederland at 1:33  ???

Just picture the pair of them together at 1:33 scale......

The missus will never go for it!

UPDATES
work is so slow on this ship with cutting the 1/75 parts then sanding
then enlargeing them to 1/50

[Tug-Kenny RIP]

Smashing ....... well worth the effort.
