Centuri X-24 Bug Build, Part 4, Cutting Out The Fins and Canopy



The scored lines (lines to be folded) on the fins and canopy were scored before cutting out the pieces off the sheet. It's just easier to score them ahead of time, a larger page is more stable under a straightedge.

I scored them using the rolled metal edge on the top of a single edge razor blade. A few layers of masking tape over the blade protect your fingers from being cut.


Cut the fin, wings and canopy with a new blade and straightedge.









Here's all the straight cut pieces before folding.







As always, I used the blunt, rounded back end of a Sharpie pen to make a sharp fold on the scored lines.
