1⁄350Water-line Conversion of Injection Molded Full Hulls

some careful trimming...
Now comes the time for trimming the excess base plate and flush cut pliers are needed. Because the pair I have are pretty short nosed, I need to make vertical cuts the entire length so the excess can be removed evenly.
 
 
To smooth the edged once the trimming is done, I use the tip of my knife to scrape the edge until it's flush with the hull edge then finish off with a coarse emery board. These steps must be done with care so as not to remove or damage to any of the hulls details.

Very nice feature. I have a ship in my stash that is a full hull in 1/700 scale that I want to make into a waterline. This will be of great help.
