STEP 1.  MAKING THE BLUE MAX WIND TUNNEL MODEL

Drawings pasted to plywood

we cheated a bit to speed up the production.  Instead of marking out the plywood manually, two sets of drawings were printed from our Computer drawings.  One drawing was bonded to the plywood sheet using PVA adhesive diluted with 4 parts water.

Once dry it is easy to cut out the shapes we need to give sufficient reference for carving.  Use a small scroll jigsaw blade available from most DIY stores.  The smaller blade will allow you to negotiate tight curves easily.
