I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I tried both SIlkspan from Brodak and some domestic tissue (left over from a Guillows kit that I never finished): the Guillows tissue worked better., rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:30 Views : 442 Glued the strips onto the wing over the wings. THis where I decided that using 20# (or lighter) paper would have worked better. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:29 Views : 447 Strips with the string. I think that this is going to work. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:27 Views : 352 OK, now the lines on the front of the board come into play. Using the Olfa cutter and straight-edge, I sliced the paper and string into 3/32" strips. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:26 Views : 475 GLue applied and waiting for it to dry. It will all flatten out. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:24 Views : 386 Thinned Titebond glue (didn't have any Elmers white glue) brushed over the thread and paper. Not to liberally! rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:22 Views : 410 Thread woven around the brads, overlaying teh 50# bond paper. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:21 Views : 384 Even though I struck out on my quest for Nitrate dope in SF, I did find this pure cotton 3/0 machine thread. It is supposed to absorb aliphatic glue better than other (rayon) threads. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:18 Views : 430 Next, laid some 50# bond paper over the parchament. I think that next time I will use standard 20# paper. Can you see where I'm heading? rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:17 Views : 391 Covered the face of the board with parchament paper to prevent glue sticking to it. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 10-Feb-16 11:15 Views : 370 I feel like a cobbler. Small brads driven into the edge of the board at every other 3/32" mark. Page (29 in total) :  <<   6   7   8   9   10  [ 11 ]  12   13   14   15   16   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
