Uboat model skin thickness...
Hi guys, well i have been thinking i would like to make a 1/35 scale u boat.
I have the ribs and "keel", designed which i wish to print out and will then cut out of perspex. For the hull material i was hoping to use beer/soda cans
Ok, now i am not even sure this would work, but ....
I have a 1/72 scale revell model, so if my thinking is right, i should design the ribs and spine it so the length is basically double?
(1/36 scale?)
Does any body know what the outer hull thickness was IRL?
Any idea what it would be at 1/35 scale?
Would beer/soda can thickness be applicable?
Any help or pitfalls to this idea would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Thor
