I wonder what he's cutting? It seems too easy to be plasticard, yet also stiffer than normal card stock for its thickness. Whatever it is, it looks a wonderful medium to work with.

British Airways transatlantic 'cattle class' at the back has to be experienced to believe. I'm patriotic but its 'Air France' in the future and I'm told the food is excellent.

Those models are awesome, did you notice, all the tiny bits being cut out with a scalpel
And not a single finger with a plaster .If I tried that my fingers would look like return
Of the mummy {-) they are artists not just brilliant modellers .
I may take up crosstich.

Great fine work there but I was most impressed by the pencil in photo 3. I can never find one in my shed but now I'm going to get some of those giant ones.
