Carmel returns with a story of model building the traditional way, which has rarely been seen since the days of injection-moulded plastic.

Hi Carmel

What a fascinating article. I've never come across these kits before, and your re-work to modern stands is really inspiring.

All the best

That looks like a fine project. I've never seen a balsa block aircraft kit.
I've built plenty of Guillows but that's a different process altogether. Nice work!

Carmel,

Simply an amazing build.

Way past my limited skill level. To think that you created a model up to today's standards from a piece of Balsa wood, and some sheet plastic is just mind boggling.

Jessica, I struggled with a few of those Guillow kits that Jack mentioned, and even got one or two almost finished, but this is a whole new ballgame.
