Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 17:54 Views : 522 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. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 17:52 Views : 443 The kit had molded copies of the ADF "footballs", but they lacked definition and were too big. I decided to carve some new ones. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 15:12 Views : 419 The kit also needed covers for the aileron linkage. Again, basswood carved and sanded. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 15:11 Views : 423 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." Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 15:09 Views : 454 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.

Sizing was a "guesstimate" based on photos. From back to front you can see how the pieces evolved. Basswood and a hobby knife. I matched the curve of the wing by taping sand paper to the wing and running the piece side by side along it. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 15:02 Views : 429 Cut it apart because I needed the round pipe. I didn't want to buy an 8 foot section of pipe. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 13:42 Views : 457 The cut out pieces. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 13:41 Views : 425 I wanted to have a better detailed camera, so I had to cut out the wood brace and part of the molded in fuselage. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 13:40 Views : 428 Intake scoop epoxied to the fuselage. Several pieces of scrap wood filled the gaps. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 13:38 Views : 400 I needed to cut out another intake on the top of the scoop. I boxed it in with heavy card stock (an old business card.) Again, much use of the Dremel. Page (15 in total) :  <<   8   9   10   11   12  [ 13 ]  14   15  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
