I've got an idea for using a scale model blimp which I would like to construct and i am looking for information whether I can use a die-cutter for fabricating/cutting the gores.
Each gore will look like: (see right)
I'm wondering if
- I can use a scrapbooker's die cutter - either full length (each gore will be about 6' long) or in 1' lengths,
- Either cutting very thin plastic sheets (the thickness of mylar balloons) or heavish paper to use as a cutting pattern
I have coordinates for the gores, which read, in part, like:
