Thanks! I’m a design engineer, not a toolmaker; more of a tinkerer when it comes to that kind of thing. I find engineering tools like straight edges, slip gauges and strips of thin steel useful in paper modelling. For example, a slip gauge can be used as a weight, as well as a method of getting three sides of a box structure perfectly perpendicular (and loads of other alignment related things).
