Welcome Ed
Some advice on enlarging the paper models;
the larger scale that you start with (1/24 or better yet 1/16) the less
off measurement they will be when you make them 1/6.
I would suggest that you always make a poster board mock up work out the
pattern kinks.

Good on you for using mild steel, I don't know of very many steel tanks,

The scrollsaw mostly does model boat ribs, although I've used it quite

I would make a nice list of minimum stuff, but it would be rather long, and
