I built one of these models. The covering was made by floating a film of

Very cool! I've made and used microfilm in the past, though only for NZ
rules Easy-B and 35cm rubber models. If you have any dimensions or
sketches of your model I'd love to get a copy: the email address below at
the end of this post is valid if you'd care to send me any details.
