Scratch-building UB-III idea

[martin schelle]

Today I came up with an interesting approach to the challenge of building a 1/72 scale UB-III. If I could find a highly accurate 3D model of the submarine and figure out the scale in inches, I could then "slice" the entire model like a cucumber. Once the sections or frames could be cut from 1/4 in. styrene, it could then be glued together to make a very solid plastic model. I would still need to add fine details such as rivets and such, but it ought to work. what are your thoughts?.
