The color difference is noticeable.

The fuselage sides appear to be butt-joined rather than with the use of tabs.

What are the white rectangular device next to your cutting board and the silver and black apparatus to the left?

Beautiful workmanship, Carl.

I should probably know, but what is B/W (or BW)?

B/W: Bright White paper.

Thanks, Gil.

Just a quickie question (I'm a rookie) : does B/W indicate a specific paper (Epson Bright White) or a general paper brightness (or whiteness?) rating, regardless of paper weight?

general paper brightness.......... and in his case it is a lighter weight paper as opposed to card stock. Hence his idea to laminate the BW paper to card stock.

...a little more attention than I expected! Thanks for the messages.

Don - yes, this pad is mounted on a clipboard. The small white box contains Excel blades; a 100 pack.

I actually attempted to edge join rather than butt join. I did it pretty well in this case.

Gene, I use HP Bright White paper but imagine that Epson paper would have much the same effect. It seems to give more precise printing and better colors. Plus it is a little sturdier and more opaque than run-of-the-mill copier paper.

I made the wings by gluing an inner layer of card stock together and then attaching the colored B/W surfaces over them - with appropriate forming on the paper. They came out very well.

GB I know you said you weren't going to release this........but please reconsider and put it in the download section.

Thanks, Carl. I was trying to understand what weight paper and card you used (so I could copy).

I echo John's remarks about your possibly putting these beauties in the download section.
