Wow, amazing woodwork.

OCD Sunday - Fuselage, wings and tail are all glued. Now checking symmetry - everything perpendicular, balanced and still in scale!

I can only repeat what others said. Amazing skills.

Thanks! I have the same awe

for those who can sculpt something purely from their imagination

Daily progress update. Decided to tackle the open cockpit excavation (much like my recent root canal

) with flex-shaft dental drill.

Very few suitable Japanese pilot figures in 28mm so these Bob Murch fellows will soon suffer the dental tool resculpting ordeal!

Amazing!

It is wonderful to see a true craftsman at work.

Uggh! I've spent hours getting the pontoon support framework positioned where everything just about lines up~then I dropped it to the carpeted floor. Soft enough fall but it still shattered! Its now re-glued but I'm rethinking the framework into wire rather than glued wood strips. Good thing there are three more weeks.

It looks beautiful but I wonder if you are right about the wire. The wood looks a bit fragile. May be best to bring out the solder gun.

Really a thing of beauty. Another option is to strenthen the joins (Green Stuff or similar).

Just wow. I can't believe how good this is (well I can, you have the proof)

Johnnytodd · « **Reply #44 on:** January 22, 2017, 03:14:17 AM »

Decided to stick to plan A and use wood undercarriage. Propeller is done but will put that on last. Very happy with how it is turning out
