JWass803 | 18-Aug-11 19:58 | David, great job! What did you use to "build up" the inside of the cowling? I notice in later pics you had cut out the motor and had a black background that looked like it was built up from the former, to which you attached this plastic motor part...thanks! |
David Duckett | 18-Aug-11 20:16 | Thank you. I'm not sure what it's sitting on, probably a chunk of balsa and then on a circle of balsa painted black. I guess the answer is "scrap wood". Actually in this pic the motor has already been cut out to paint it and is being held in place with a pin, black dot just above the enter. |
JWass803 | 24-Aug-11 12:54 | Thanks David. I know it's a "basic" question, but I'm completing my first build and I'm enjoying making "modifications" along the way. After viewing your build, I was inspired to cut away the plastic engine as well. I've bought 1/12 scale Le Rhone cylinders from Williams Bros and will construct my own! Thanks again. |
David Duckett | 24-Aug-11 15:50 | I cut the engine from the cowl to make it easier to paint and look a bit more realistic. I am not the engine man. Check the work of John Oshust on here to see how it's done. |
