Tacked together for a photo op....I have to see what see will look like. Forgot Gumby! |

Looking good!!!
Are you sheeting the wings with 1/32 basswood? |
John M Oshust | 27-Feb-08 22:40 |
No...except for any Bass that I had about I am using balsa. It is easier to work with and cheaper. 1/32 balsa sheets...6 in. wide. Like poppy 1/32 balsa...figured I give it a try...saves work! |

Where' Gumby? Did you send him out for beer?
I can hardly wait to see what the finished product looks like, but, it's enjoyable seeing the progression. |

I do not know where the cowl is going...many options but checkering is not one of them. |

The Rat will be Russkie white and the inscription will say Death to wives! As my "Wuffy" cannot speak or read Russian! |

.Be careful,John, It's been my experience that 'secrets' CANNOT be kept from wives, They always seem to find out. |
