Looks just like this one.

It's normally used for dimpling sheet metal, but I'm finding it quite useful for card modeling.

Okay, friends, one last pic to wrap up this thread and put a bow on it -- a group shot of the New Kids on the Block.

OUTSTANDING! Makes me want to go buy a plastic airplane model. 😄

 

Absolutely no no malice intended with my use of the word plastic. A plastic model would be the only way I could ever build something like this that could even resemble this level of modeling talent. 👍

 Chris, a very impressive collection particularly considering they're card models.

Hmm.... I see space for one more airplane on that display shelf.  I'd guess it's another WWII fighter.

 

 

Edit:  Welp, I was wrong.  I just saw a new log in the kit area for a destroyer.

chin up Mark....he'll do another........the hanger's not full :D    just catching up on all the logs I've missed Chris........splendid job on the Spit!  she looks superb!  I had a poke in at your England log,  and I must say.....your doing a spectacular job thus far!  I don't think it will fit in the hanger though...soI hold hope that you'll do another ;) .......'jes say'in :D 

 

I get the same feeling concerning your build frequency.........I churned out boat after boat for a few years there........only to find myself doing what.......only one or two a year now.  it's alright though........I have quite a few 'active' projects to show for it ;)   :D    think that's funny........the admiral just figured out why I've been accumulating a stash!  {retirement is right 'round the corner ;) }

That just means that you no longer get paid for the work you still have to do! RE-TIRED is another way of saying that you are no longer on your 1st tired.:stunned::D

Amen to that, brother though there's times when I'm re-re-re-tired.  :D
