| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Reference | 28-Aug-15 20:00 |  | | Views : 572 | | Hey y'all, I'm back. Short tale of woe: I cut out all of teh ribs and wing parts for the Loening last week, the found that I had used the 1/16 scale set of plans instead of the 1/12 scale. Disgusted is putting it mildly. While recovering from that Faux Pau, I decided to utilize my new minuature Lathe to whip ot a Boeing Delta II Launch Vehicle that carried teh Mars Rover "Spirit" to the Red Planet. So with James (and the general populace's approval) I will turn my corner of the site into the "Virtual Aero(space) Drome" for a while. [James if you could add "Delta II No. 298" to the scratchbuilt cagegory? |

You can also use foam filler rod. I cut the tubing just a LITTLE shorter than the teh circumference of the rim and used gell superglue and held it together for a minute until the CA set-up. I snaded the whole tire down with 100 grit papaer then use my Dremel tool with a coarse scotch-brite wheel to buff it all to the same appearance. |
