Thanks Mike for the tip with the magnetic strip. Sounds like a very good idea and I will look if I can find that here or on the net.

Yoav, I like large models! I am more scared of the teeny tiny ones :-) And although I am not the biggest war plane fan your A4 and F16 belong to the few I very much like. (Now I only need an air carrier in matching scale :-) )

The only thing I am really not sure about how well I can pull off is the vacu forming canopies. But I am looking forward to see how I can create the tools for it ... and also the look on my girl friends face when I march into the kitchen with the vacuum cleaner and start to bake the plastic sheet!

Regarding the design of a skin and the inner rib structure I wonder how you calculate/design the difference of outer and inner parts. Do you just scale the inner parts a little smaller than 100% or do you offset the inner path shape more pecisely by the paper thickness of the outer skin parts?

OK back to assembling the rib structure ...
