Newbie here,
I am in the process of building my very first paper model - the JSC SS United States. I have seen some threads here where builders laminate the pieces to 1mm cardboard (i.e., a build of the 1928 SS Bremen). Is this generally necessary or kit specific? Won't this throw off the fit somewhat if you make the pieces thicker? Where does one get 1mm cardboard, or is supplied with a kit? Finally if it is necessary or generally desirable to laminate (perhaps for strength), what do you use for adhesive? Some type of a spray adhesive?
I know this JSC kit is not the easiest one to start with, but so far I have most of the frame figured out (except for the stern and the bow) in spite of the limited instructions and almost complete lack of visual guides.
