| Thank you. I looked very hard to see a lamination glue joint, but there were none. REALLY REALLY OUTSTANDING WORK |

| It was a solid block that you can get from a plastic supplier. A thick one for the fuselage. First step is to cut it roughly to the width of the piece you are going to carve, ie: fuselage, then you make the piece square on all sides and then, begin transfering the contours. for the wings, stabilizer, etc. you only need to use acrylic sheet of different thicknesses. |

| Did you have to laminate the acrylic or was it a solid piece? VERY VERY NICE Carving!! |

| Sorry, no build pics, but I can tell you that I worked with good three view drawings. If there are cross sections, much better, but not necessary and a lot of good reference material as well as trips to the local airfield of course. Then is just straight forward carving technique. Only thing is that is a heck of a lot harder than balsa wood. You need to work with rasper, files, sand paper and a small disc sander is very helpful. |
