    Thanks for the very timely link OC, I'm at that very stage with my model and couldn't work out where a couple of pieces went. The pics clarified it for me  .

    Thank you all  .
     
    The start of the build is the cabin. The laser-cut parts are perfect, much better than I could cut by hand in 0.5mm and 1.0mm card. Here is the main framing :


     
    Two of the instrument panels. These have some very small parts. The gauge panel is laminated in 3 parts - the gauges, a very thin piece of clear acrylic from a cigarette packet, and the fascia which has been punched for the gauges :



     
    The axe and fire extinguisher took me half a day to make :

    Hi all, 
     
    My latest Card model - A Halinski kit of a Russian Mi24D Helicopter. Here are the pics of the cover page, 2 of the 3 pages of the  laser-cut pieces, resin wheels and a preformed canopy :




     
    This is going to be my most difficult card model to date. There are over 4,000 pieces (HMS Hood had about 2,500), some of them half the size of the smallest I've done so far. This should be FUN  .

    Of course  . Unfortunately there were NO modellers in attendance while we were there - I was expecting to see Richard as his model was on the bench.

    Ditto to the above John, except that I was actually at the museum last week and saw Meteor in the flesh  . Unfortunately it was on Friday and you weren't there  .
