jgood | 16-Aug-21 23:50 | Nice to see her on the wheels! |
Dfell | 17-Aug-21 05:38 | Looking really good. |
bobgood | 17-Aug-21 16:40 | It will not be "museum quality" when finished, but every piece has been cut out by my hands, and built to my own drawings and plans. So quite satisfying....
The props were carved from 5/16" thick Bass wood - very fiddly and delicate stuff..... |
biplane guy | 17-Aug-21 20:08 | Wow, Bob, beautiful build. I understand your sense of satisfaction with a scratch-built project. I have a love-hate relationship with the WACO. I had to carve my first prop ever for the WACO after the one I was planning to use from a Guillows PT-17 kit warped. I foolishly used a heat gun to try to straighten the plastic and totally screwed it up. The basswood was kinda stringy when cut but after sanding and three coats of polyurethane it finally took a decent paint job. Can't wait to see your progress on the Q6. |
