Ingenious technique!
Credit for this idea goes to Michael Mash.
A photo in one of his threads shows a balsa block used as a work surface/clamping fixture with pins and balsa scraps holding parts in place. It's a stroke of genius!

Excellent idea...and as an alternative I would like to suggest a metal building board utilizing magnets.

Stick & Tissue?...,
I think Michael has built more than a few stick and tissue flying models. Using a solid block of balsa is a bit extravagant. Two layers of 1/4" sheet cork glued onto a back braced 0.5" plywood (building board) also works.

I have seen the metal plate and magnet idea a few times. It usually crops up in the scratch ship building arenas. I think micromark sells a magnet kit along those lines.

I just use corrugated cardboard as my base for stick and tissue models. Haven't had any real occasion to use this method for paper models yet.

Either way, balsa block, or metal base, both great ideas. Thanks for sharing that.
