Hi Ray. I've added 'McDonnell Douglas Delta II Rocket' to the scratch built section. Hope that's good. |

The Loening is still on the front burner, hopefully followed by the J2F Duck during teh winter building season. This is just something "Different" that has been floating around in my head for a while. |

I guess you are serious. The plane was a challenge. A worthy project for your talents. You spent so much time on the wheels. They came out so beauteous.. Spending time on a tube with stabilizers is such a letdown, lathe or not😟 |

Hey y'all, I'm back. Short tale of woe: I cut out all of teh ribs and wing parts for the Loening last week, the found that I had used the 1/16 scale set of plans instead of the 1/12 scale. Disgusted is putting it mildly. While recovering from that Faux Pau, I decided to utilize my new minuature Lathe to whip ot a Boeing Delta II Launch Vehicle that carried teh Mars Rover "Spirit" to the Red Planet. So with James (and the general populace's approval) I will turn my corner of the site into the "Virtual Aero(space) Drome" for a while. [James if you could add "Delta II No. 298" to the scratchbuilt cagegory? |

5,637 miles,home yesterday. I had to look at this again. That much talent in two hands is still scary. It's just plain cool! |

Been on a road trip so I am past due for a "Thanks" for all your comments. |

I think you're scary. |

This is perfect! Never thought a wheel could be that intersting, been staring on it for too long now :) |

Tire material: before and after. This a piece of vacuum hose from teh atuomotive store. You can also use foam filler rod. I cut the tubing just a LITTLE shorter than the teh circumference of the rim and used gell superglue and held it together for a minute until the CA set-up. I snaded the whole tire down with 100 grit papaer then use my Dremel tool with a coarse scotch-brite wheel to buff it all to the same appearance. |

It even goes round-n-round! |
rayl, Image # 34215 | 21 Jun 15 16:02 |
All done. Note the offset of the rim holes as I mentioned earlier. |
