Your engraving tool looks handy.

If your referring to the black rectangular thing with a blade, it is a Master Airscrew Balsa Stripper. I have one, most R/C hobby stores sell em :thumbsup:

exactly. I've simply glued a sheet of plastic from a CD box to have a larger base.

I use it to engrave circular forms like a spinner

That's the thing.  I usually cobble together something from a pair of compasses, scriber and elastic bands to engrave parallel to edges.  I think I need to design something similar to this tool that I can knock up from odds and ends.  I certainly have a huge collection of blunt #11 blades that are still acceptable for engraving use.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Great work, the shape reminds me of the Breguet Alize. Not to take this away from your excellent build.

Another simple technique is to use a fine photoetched saw blade clamped into it a block of post it notes.

Absolutely agree

Small airbrushing session today, because I was tired of puttying and sanding

First freehand, to plays with my favorite toys

on a black vallejo primer base, I painted different shade of gray to have darker areas on different zones, after that i "resprayed" some parts with black








the cap is black but I also "zénithalised" it
[

I only used the masking tape for the computer boxes


i have to let it to dry before i start retouching with fine brush

I have to admit that I am not very happy with the result of the buttons on the dashboard.
But I can live with

How small is the brush ? Great work
