Either Styrene or sheet metal, or both, probably brass, and copper. I intend to use this hull as a model, but first I am going to use it to make molds, so I can produce Remote Control versions and parts from it. I am also considering copying the parts in resin cast to make The worlds largest 1/72 scale ship kit to sell. I have already started working on plans for a Graf Spee, an HMS Exeter, Ajax, and Achilles in the same scale. but I want to stay focused on this project for the time being. The good thing about some of these ships is that allot of the parts will be the same, IE gun turrets, range finders, catapults, Float planes. so some of the things will be easy to get, or reproduce.

I should have took more time on the body filler time, as now I'm spot puttying the little area's that I should have finished then.

i like the method of hull covering.
do you apply epoxy resin over the foil tape or is not necessary?
i like all images and methodology applied

Ty for the comments. No resin, I will scuff sand the tape with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper and paint it almost like doing auto body on a car. but first I am going to make a latex rubber mold and a mold set with concrete. the silicone will be for resin casting , and or fiberglass. the concrete will be to shape sheet metal for the Remote control hull. I will post pics of this also.
