| I'm sure I speak for everyone here, that we'd like to see some build photos. If you're shaping blocks into planes, I'd like to understand your process better, if possible! Thanx for the phots so far! |

| Okay
this Monday I,ll go to the hobby Shop and buy some soft pine blocks I been wanting to build a Martin PBM Mariner Flyingboat. It will make a fine addition to my Martin Mars. My Method of construction of a solid model is ti use a band saw and cut out the profile of the fuselodge and mark the center line and mark off the former lines and cut out the templates and start carving useing your templates as yopu carve do both sides at a time. Wings are done same way carve to airfoil shape useing rib pattern templates, not difficult |
