I must confess, Im not a great lover of Plasticard, Ive never been able to work purely with it. What I normally do is build a Superstructure, say, a bridge out of 1/64 plywood or balsawood - correct the mis-shapes etc., in the ply, fill it, and then cover it using 0.5mm Plasticard. I find this a lot easier to do and I manage to get a reasonable result with it. I normally stick the Plasticard on with Superglue. I do envy these people who can build complete models out of Plasticard. Ive seen some beautiful models made with the stuff and Ive also seen many modellers make it look so easy to use - when Ive tried, copy everything they have done - I either put too much glue on, cut it wrong...or just make a pure mess of it.
