| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 29-Apr-17 12:03 |  | | Views : 802 | | BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD !! - I will cut it all out, sand it, glue raw tissue onto the plane, then shrink it and clear it, the normal way - but first, my 10" X 1 1/2" X 1/2" laminated prop carving block is dry after being glued and clamped up for a week - prop carving and sanding fun coming up !! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 29-Apr-17 11:57 |  | | Views : 716 | | The pics show how awefully horrendous it looks on the plane. A DISMAL FAILURE ! At least I gave it the "old College effort" . |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 29-Apr-17 11:54 |  | | Views : 749 | | After all that work, I glued it on anyway (an exercise in futility), and tried to stretch it out flat, and reshrink it, to no avail. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 29-Apr-17 11:50 |  | | Views : 764 | | When I cut the finished tissue out of the jigs after a few days, it shrunk into a homogenious, rippled, shrivelled, and wrinkled "Orange Peel" texture, from not being stretched taught, as it was stretched perfectly taught while in the jigs. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 29-Apr-17 11:46 |  | | Views : 713 | | RIGHT STAB TISSUE REPAIR - My original intent was to try to match the red and black tissue on the plane, by shrinking and clear coating a red and a black tissue panel in jigs first, then cut it out and just glue it on. |
