I blame GDonk,and I'm easily sidetracked lol
As he posted a link to a series of old cigarette cards ..
I'll probably build another plane soon. I've an inkling it might be a passenger biplane. Something a little more challenging.
Mark.
I can live with that blame when the results are so awe inspiring  :o :o :o

Thats a Clark Gable film I've not seen in a long time. :D
I tend to knock these up sat watch telly on an evening As I'm prone to the odd history lesson when I try sleep this time of year So I've plenty of spare time lol . But I'm too tired to sculpt that time of night.(effectively ) rather than be awake and bored I beat up cereal packets .
Sooo I may be halfway through another fuselage of another plane.Admittedly I've no idea what plane just one thats sort of designing its self as I go.

Working at a company that designs aircraft I'm pretty confident this is still how the drawing office do things.

Nicely done! Makes me want to get started on my 1/56th scale Rolls Royce AC.

TM get on with it. (Although I wouldn't be put out if you just buy the one I made instead  lol )

Rich nothing to it ..
Pre curve the card before cutting out.( but after marking out the part.)
Plasticard and cardboard have a grain
They'll both flex better in one axis/direction than another. ( grain in a loose sense both )and sand scrap in on direction as well.In the case of plastic you'll get clean shavings in the wrong direction a blade will skid and drag ans make much smaller uneven shavings.
Card the right direction it will sand and cut.the wrong way and the card will bur and occasionally snagg ( especially on thinner widths of card) causing it to fold and bunch. Sanding will causing fluffing and feathering.
The trick is the placement of parts on the card taking the above into account.
Biggest tip is precurve, precurve,precurve,precurve!
