Jedi | 23-Jun-10 07:27 | How did you make those John? |
frwyflyer | 23-Jun-10 15:43 | Nice carving on those nacelle fillets. Very nice covering!! |
JohnG. | 24-Jun-10 04:14 | Actually the fillets are not carved. The plans lacked a pattern so I used cardstock to cut out a pattern. I glued 1/16 balsa to the former to provide a place to glue. Transferred the pattern to 1/32 balsa, soaked and formed a curve around a bottle. Then cut, trimmed and sanded until I obtained an acceptable fit. Some filler and it will be finished. |
frwyflyer | 24-Jun-10 08:23 | Even Better!! A MASTER and his solution to the problem. GREAT WORK!! |
