This is my largest plane to date, with the smallest scale...1/24. I started this colltion of junk today. I submitt it to the board for review. At this stage I was reluctant to go with it! |

| Looks good to me. How do you do it? If I had of wound that string on there by hand, it wouldn't be nearly as uniform. I guess that's why I can't even sand a corner that is square, it's always rounded off. My hats off to you. |

27 cylinders made from purchased fittings will boost the price close to the price of the original plane. Unless I find free fitting, unlikly, I hope to make cylinders from dowels. |

As poppy discovered, the plans do not always match the real plane. I have been looking at the nose and not liking it. As I am wiritng the instructions, I am revising the Striesand a bit more to reality |

| John, what makes this even more inspirational is you are doing this from a sheet self induced instructions. Great stuff!! |

| I thought oysters were the only approved supporting devices. |

| I pray that my old eyes and fingers will let me do half as well as you John. I marvel at the craftsmanship! |

Well the Tin Goose's stilts did not last long. LG completed! |

All Al landing gear. Now thoughts turn to Al skis! |

When the dice are rolling your way keep going. Tomorrow you may not be as lucky! |

| poppy...as perfect as these old eyes and fingers can make it! Thanks. |

| Perfection at it's finest. |

| I meant quandary....the word was cut. Thanks. I originally planned on turning them out of AL but opted for a stickball bat to save work considering the time I will spend making 3 radial triplets! |

| WOW John, those engine nacelle mounts are very impressive. |
| John M Oshust, Image # 5766 | 12 Jan 08 19:44 |
Misty was also thrilled. He awoke to watch the nacelle manufacture and installation. |

JG...you have been asking about the brand of masking...here it is. This lady will not have wheels or floats....a plane destined for the S. Pole needs SKIS! |

Thanks for the kind words guys. This part of the build had me in a quandar. I am glad it is over. |
