Hi Guys, I started to build the depth charge racks at the stern of the model.

First I had to draw the outlines of the racks, then cut and glue together plasti card or evergreen angel sections over the top of the drawings.

Ron, you can still use the ftp method of old.... there is no restriction on number of pictures if you do that...
It's not who you are, but what you do that defines you.
