Again, basswood carved and sanded. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 15:11 Views : 425 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 : 458 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. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 15:06 Views : 471 The kit did not have any hard points for missiles and bombs. I had to make them. 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 : 431 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 : 459 The cut out pieces. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 13:41 Views : 428 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 : 430 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 : 402 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. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 13:36 Views : 417 The air intake needed to be cleaned out, opened up and a splitter added. The Dremel came in real handy on this project. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 10:04 Views : 493 The basic fuselage and wings on my desk. Creosotewind Scratch Built Solid Models Parked 13-Jun-14 09:58 Views : 456 This would be an in-flight exhibit. First order was to patch a lot of holes and missing parts of the fuselage. I used some large pieces of basswood and epoxy to fill the gaps. This is also the cleanest my desk has been in a long time.
