Methinks that if you primed em the same colour, you wouldn't notice them. Looks the dogs bollocks anyway.

Agreed!

Argh... 1.5x1.5mm triangles....

Argh indeed, but it looks the business - stunning!

Half a bottle of merlot has not helped but half way there

carlos marighela · « **Reply #110 on:** January 21, 2017, 08:12:29 PM »

Both sides for each track? I'd go nuts. Terrific work!

Rich H · « **Reply #111 on:** January 21, 2017, 08:16:50 PM »

Er... maybe... not! I'll just do the outside to begin with!

AKULA · « **Reply #112 on:** January 22, 2017, 12:03:38 AM »

Cripes!

I wouldn't have the patience to cut all those triangles, even with a whole bottle or merlot.

Well worth the effort though Rich.

Mr Laser cutter (currently) does not get bored....

But Merlot (and now Hendricks and fevertree) make positioning them tricky...

Hendricks and fevertree

Now you're talking

Slurring my words a touch...

I'm not drunk you shilly sit. I'm jober as a sudge.

Rich H · « **Reply #116 on:** January 22, 2017, 09:34:24 AM »

So.... I think I'm done...mostly. The track guides are on... well the outer ones. I'm not doing the inner ones as they are mostly hidden and not easy to see.

I've got the control struts to add to the wings but that's all I think.... Oh and a few rivets probably.

That's some attention to detail

What did you fix them with? Superglue?

Rich H · « **Reply #118 on:** January 22, 2017, 10:36:26 AM »

PVA for everything - superglue is far too tricky for my sausage fingers with bits this small.
Also it's very unforgiving as it bonds skin/mdf and mdf/mdf instantly...
PVA gives a strong but slow bond with a bit of flex so stops them getting knocked off too easily.

The 1mm MDF is surprisingly tough but it's got next to no strength in shear so the layers come apart.

Such attention to detail is commendable, Mr Merlot.
