| Thanks for all your input. After a long wet day at work I cane home and with an exaxto #11 gently picked off any blck seepage. If I was able to freehand the green between the masked yellow on the Lib this little spinner wasn't going to break me. Touched up the white and redid another coat of black. Will post photos after I mount the variable pitch props. |

| hjlittman (aka kittyfritters) just posted here about how he uses Guillow's kit tissue (sealed then coated with adhesive) as a masking tape for contoured surfaces. |

| The darker color, of course. |

| Moos, paint spinner lightest color first, use a pencil to make spirals, when you are satisfied, then free hand paint. |
| Barnstormer, Comment for image # 5111 | 18 Nov 07 18:40 |
| Moos, just a thought,could you cut masking tape in a spiral laid flat that would wrap around the spinner?
Maybe some math involved or a paper template. Only thoughts, I've never tried this. |

| Maybe one of the paint markers that are sold. The spinner goes on a slow turntable, painted your base color, and while it turns slowly "free hand the spiral with the paint marker...again just a thought! |

| Caot it when dry and it will not crack in a gazillion years or get High class playdough in the art department of a craft store. I think you can "finger form" the shape you desire, then wrap it around the area...let dry and sand to shape....just a thought! |

| Play doygh is subject to cracking after it dries out in a gazillion years. Though my kids' silly putty does hold surfaces in position while gluing. Try it sure beat pinning. |

| DD, perhaps a complete liquid mask, then tape mask folowed by a liquid mask removal. This is an actual SOS. Open to any and all suggestions. |

| DD wouldn't try this. |

| Ahh! now I see what you meant by the heliologicalabalistic spinner%@#. I love it, nice touch Moos. ;-) |

| Play dough! |

| The mortise and tenon was a no brainer. The problem is creating the sweeping, tapered flair with Micro-fill much like a capital on a structural column at both ends. That's reinforced carpenter lingo. |

| What superb attention to detail. I particularly like the instrument panel - those dials looks amazingly realistic. |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 5112 | 18 Nov 07 16:10 |
| Moose...I mortise and tenon joint thin Al stips to the struts then cut slits in the surface to accept the Al strut tabs...fill after they dry in place. |
| moostang51, Comment for image # 5112 | 18 Nov 07 15:52 |
| BTW, rough side of fuselage just ahead of strut represents Micro-fill added because of careless sanding in the tight spaces at base of strut. "Bad Moostang' |

Probably the biggest PIA so far. Finding it very hard to smooth the attach point transition of these friggin struts. I envy you biplane builders. |

I'm starting to like this spinner scheme. Tried two different masks for first coat with same bleeding results. DD, any ideas? Found tape forms to ellipse but releases on tighter side each time. |

Sorry for the blur. Mama always says " leave your dirty shoes outside." Floorboards weathered with watered down burnt sienna and german grey wash. |
