The rough outline cut was with a jig-saw. Now it was roughed out with an Xacto knife. If I remember correctly, it was three pieces of basswood laminated together. |

The kit had molded copies of the ADF "footballs", but they lacked definition and were too big. I decided to carve some new ones. |

The kit also needed covers for the aileron linkage. Again, basswood carved and sanded. |

Proud mom and kids. Eventually she took all but one of the ducklings with her. The leftover was adopted by one of the guys here. His family raised it and it eventually flew off. They called the duck "Cobblepot." |

We had a population boom at my work. The office is next to a canal that the ducks enjoy. Plenty of room for a nest. One day these little guys showed up. |
