            A tip I used in the past to cut plastic/perspex was to use a thin nylon chord. With a candle, wax the chord. Wind the chord around fingers of both hands and 'saw' the item to be cut. You get a loverly smooth cut.

                          Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                              Lufthansa? The military modeller/historian in me wants to ask if you’re going to finish it as D-ABCE Landshut — but that was a 737-200
