A bit smaller than the very nice SR71 built by @tino

Talking of cute, here's a little model of the Spitfire Mk VI that I made from a Micromodels print I found on the internet. Not particularly sharp print, but finding a reasonably-priced original is difficult. The scale I re-sized, to 1/200. The nose spinner I carved from balsa.

Here's one I found via Papermau's website. I added a couple of little craft 'jewels' (on the antenna and rear panel).

Another from the Kool Wheelz library is the Peugeot Spinner from Blade Runner 2049. I made this one in approximately 1/50 scale and made an attempt at a 'dystopian' display base. Hidden magnet attachment, again.

Thanks. Should I post photos of previous models specifically on this Intro thread?

Just arrived via the Papermau website. I build paper/card models and scratch build sci-fi subjects using recycled items. I hope to contribute with build logs.
