| Thanks! It got a little tricky over the stiff paper area around the cockpit but I muddled through it with a little water and a prayer. |

| Very skillfully applied tissue covering on your Great Lakes Trainer. |

| Thanks, Boats! I still have a bit to go yet. I only get a little time here and there, so it will be a slow process. Did you already build yours? |

| I am between Scranton and Binghamton. We dodged the snow/sleet bullet but received about 3 inches of much needed rain. |

| Thanks!
No snow yet John. I hit 2 pockets of sleet on the way home from work earlier, then a little more on the way home from my son's Cub Scout meeting. Almost 90 last week and now sleet!!! |

I left this small section uncovered to have access to glue the spars in place. Sorry for the blurred photo. |

This will be my first attempt on a balsa prop. This is out of the box from the kit. |

| thanks for the tip. I had good luck with the old double edged razor blades. The Exacto dragged and tore the tissue. |
| TJH, Comment for image # 25975 | 18 Apr 12 11:39 |
| BTW - I used a standard X-Acto and a metal straight edge to cut the tissue. |

| Thanks! I made a copy of the plans and then sketched the pattern there and blackened the areas. The next step is to lay the tissue over this and then pencil the pattern with a straight edge, then cut. I pasted it on with a glue stick (very tedious; I lost 2 pieces). Total time for these pieces was about 5 hours. |

| This patern is gorgeous. How did you cut out the trim pieces? I usually end up with a horrible mess using surgical scissors. |
