I had a little time this morning, so I made a little model.

I haven't done any braille scale stuff for a while, so this was a good excercise for me. I printed on 100 lb. paper; normally I do little stuff on lighter stock. Not sure what scale it is. I think I printed at 20% of the smaller size.
Here it is printed;

Pieces cut and starting to form them;

Basic plane together;

And the whole thing together;

I like doing these little ones. The heavier stock helped with some stuff, but made some of the finer forming difficult.

This was a fun distraction, but I need to get back to the bigger stuff now!

Wow! That's awesome. I don't know how you guys do that tiny little stuff. It makes my hands hurt just thinking about it.

Beautiful. Amazing. Magic.

Beautiful. And hurting to see. And I like little things.

That is really cool! You can sure get a number of these printed out of a single page!

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, watching others embrace small scale!

Looks, from where it sits on the centimeter board, about 1/160 - 1/200. Nice work!!

Feelin' really small - and on 100lb paper too! Might be a better technique for one of the airplanes from Grumman Iron Works rather than North American.
Great job!

Hey, but wait... you didn't paint the edges!

Actually, Mauri, I did paint the edges! But I used a very light gray marker which seems to have faded a little, so it was extra work that doesn't even show!
