Hi Ronald, can you be a bit more specific, ie, what do you want to copy it onto and why ?, are you talking about the rear and side galleries ? Paul Building: DelPrado HMS Victory. Building: DeAgostini Sovereign Of The Seas.

Ronald I copied mine onto thin plastic card but no reason you could not trace it out onto thin card as that would do just as well. Happy Modelling

Using a sheet of acerbate is a good solution, you can see what your doing when you copy anti holds its shape better than card or tracing paper Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Ronald Ronald You could indeed use clear plastic. I was lucky in having a scanner on my printer so i copied the page. Stuck this onto the white plastic card and then cut through the copied template and plastic card. Leaving me an exact copy of the template. You will be holding this template against your model to get some of those final planks to the correct size so i found it easier to use the white plastic rather than clear. Its a personal choice really as to what you have on hand and what you prefer-to use. Happy Modelling

Hi Ron I would say just keep it simple. Using tracing paper I traced the template then transferred the tracing onto the inside of a piece of card cut from an empty cereal packet. Cost effective and did the job it needed to....  Regards Alan
