Snake, is this a newer type of the cutter, with ratchet top handle? I have the older type, with thinner non-ratchet handle. It is quite usable but my fingers get tired after 5-6 pieces. How is the type you're using, in terms of comfortably of use?

Guys, you're too kind Thank you!

Thank you!

To summarize this journey The model is not bad at all. There are some places where need to be careful.i wouldn't advise this model to beginner, medium plus skills are required. What I didn't like is a simplified front grill and bad fit between front door, the wings and the part below the...

Hello all This is the last update on this build. I made the license plate and the side mirrors. I didn't paint the edges of the license plate deliberately. Side mirrors' reflective side is covered with 3x8 mm piece of household aluminum foil. The rods are made from thinnest solder I had, I...

Oh, Snake, thanks for reminding. I've almost forgot. Just need to get to center someday.

Thank you all

So, there are only three parts to be mounted: two side mirrors and a front licence number plate... Was looking for the brackets for the mirrors And decided to use thin solder for this.

Then I built the mobile fire hose reel. This reel was carried on the back of the firetruck. When arriving on scene, one or two of the firefighters would remove the reel and begin rolling off the line while the truck was being parked and set up. Not too difficult, just need to be careful and...

Hello all This time quite large update. I am getting closer to a finish line with this model. Continued with the three stages ladder, some wire parts and then switched to manual fire line reel. This reel was used to speed up the firetruck setup process. I wasn't careful enough with the cutting...

What can be said.... Awesome

Hello all One more update, pretty small. So, I made and mounted the side waterline ports and then moved to main water hose casings. These are represented as 4 red tubes mounted on the rear compartment roof. I really don't like making long thin tubes from paper, especially when the parts are...

Sometimes you can loose this pesky mm in the middle. That means that the frame should be disassembled to do the sandwich trick. Assuming it can be disassembled with no damage...

I can manage the wing thicker than needed. Sand paper rules here. But if the fuselage skeleton is too short, that's it, the frame goes to garbage

Thanks everybody! I tried to build several models designed with skeleton frame. I had serious issues with fitting of parts. Maybe I used incorrect cardboard. I like the "skin" method proposed here, maybe I will give it a try

You bet there will be a new project. The list is long as the length of the exile, as we say in Israel.

Thanks!

Hello all Just a question There are two ways of building aircraft models, one by making segments with wrapping and formers and then connecting them and another is making skeleton frame and then covering this frame with "panels" To be honest, I almost hate the skeleton method. I thought that...

Just checked Ronaldo's site. I think I found a model I want to build ;) :)
