Amazing models indeed, though I'm wondering why people prefer styrene sheets over, say, paper sheets of same size, color & thickness?

Hello, Denis,

Simply because styrene provides some advantages wich paper hasn't: It's more stable, gets smoth edges, can be filled and sanded and colored without fluting

I made a model of `H.M.S.Eskimo`, using old tin cans + solder. I had the original warship
underneath me at the time, as I was a crane driver in a dockyard.With an old pair of snips,
I would spend every `spare` minute while on day shift then later on night shift. I turned    out to be 4ft 6in long. I dont have now  it as I could not get it out of the dockyard.
  I also make a model of the Short Bros.`Maia and Mercury` also out of tin cans. 16in x 16in.
The first two `piggyback` seaplanes that delivered mail from England to America in 1938`s.
No photo`s unfortunatly.
