Im curious how you actually do this. Ive built balsa gliders and planes from plans back in the day but, most of the parts were either part cut or stamped into the balsa or pre cut to shape. So, building from and on the plan was pretty straight forward, sand the edges neat and stick together. Ive built a couple of Model Slipway kits which are great but even there, most parts either have outline printing or part cut out and the plan is really a line drawing for where bits go.
But what about a 1/72 scale model such as, say, a Royal Navy type 23 using sheet plasticard to build virtually everything from plans except the hull?
How do you get a highly detailed plan and transfer superstructure sides etc to a large sheet of plasticard and mark it out accurately for cutting? OK, it might be relatively easy to transfer measurements to card with a rule and set square for a pure box section but most superstructure isnt a square box.
What methods to scale builders use? The paper plans are normally printed on are too thick to see through and position the card underneath so that wont work?!
