Strip: Yet another scale model *LINK* *Pic*

There's been a lot of activity building models lately - to fuel the fire, here's a photo of my first stab at a model. It's been a fun experience so far, but I really wish I had 1/4 sized tools and 1/4 sized hands. I'm planning to make strips by taking some existing 1/4" x 3/4" strips, and run them through the tablesaw to get a 1/8" x 1/4" in strips. It's going to be like trying to make matchsticks, but hopefully I'll be able to get some usable strips that way.

There's a couple more setup photos on my website. Follow the link and then click on the "Scale Model" in the table of contents.

ps. It feels good to be building a kayak again, even if it is in miniature.
