    Build Firefox (MiG-31)

    I built the bulkhead with the overlapping strip and used a lot of glue to ensure the bulkhead had a nice bond to the outer skin/strip. For adding the first fuselage section to the nose section I ended up putting the canard support through first, then wrapping the skin top of the connecting...

    Build Firefox (MiG-31)

    Finally bought the glue. One of the main hold ups. One of these is supposed to be a scoring blade... don't know which one. Made without a Zathros joint... other side looks much better. Zathros joint on the left. (necessitated by me cutting off the tab on accident earlier, thanks...

    Lewis & Clark (Event Horizon)

    hi from firefoxUSSR

    Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm also looking to model some GT1 and Prototype racing cars that have never been modeled at all. Or it's a 1/43 scale kit... for $250. Namely: Jaguar XJR-15 Lotec Testa d'Oro Zender Fact 4 but I'm guessing I'll have more luck making my first paper...

    hey i'm a designer

    a graphic designer. I also love all things vehicles. I'm interested in making paper models of cars and airplanes of which no model exists. I love graphics. Most everything I make is in Illustrator which is for 2D professionally. Time to branch out.
