The half plane
Posted by Fly57 on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 7:11 AM

Greetings wise one's.....well i did it, after some advise from hawkeye and others i have produced a "proof of concept" item based on my odd idea. I selected the Hasegawa 1/48 F-104c....and cut it in half, mounted the end product on a painted board and put in a frame.......some fellow builders are no longer talking to me....but hey......its what i wanted. This wont work with a lot of things, but it (the procedure) may lend itself well to ships, cars and motorcycles.....and aircraft with a "short wing" profile.

I have had a request from a friend to do it again using a Italeri 1/72 EF-111 ......he has already given me the the kit and frameShock [:O]

I would like to share what i did with you all....so, next question.....how do i put the pics on here?.....if i can manage that...please remember that this was just an experiment.....as you will see the , the painting is awfull....the workmanship is rough. I mentioned to Hawkeye that posting pics here is like bringing a paint by numbers to LeonardoBlush [:I]....but if you want to see it....

Thanks again to all of  you who provided advice....and thanks for a great site....cheers

You'll need to "host" the pictures on-line at a site like Photobucket. Once you up load the pics, scroll over the thumbnail and 4 boxes appear below it. Copy the code from the bottom most box labeled "IMG code" then paste it here. It will look like this without the spaces: [ I M G ] h t t p ://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l76/ajlafleche/2009001.jpg [ / I M G ]

It just that simple.
