Step by Step

I would definitely like to see you do a step-by-step buildup of your solid wood aircraft. I have seen some of your airplanes already and they are amazingly detailed and realistic. I would have NEVER thought that anyone could get a peice of wood and shape it to look like and sometimes even exceed the look of the modern plastic kits.

You got my vote.

Of course.

I've seen your work, its amazing.

But, didn't you do a step by step already in FSM? Maybe it was somewhere else.

Bring it on, making something from nothing is always fascinating to me.

Hi guys............

Will do on my next project. I am finishing painting an SM-71 for now...........

On the line up are: S-2 Tracker (.45 of the way), SM-134 a strange bird, only one made,
a "not solid" RO-1 with full cockpit, a RO-41 with its interesting gull wings and the B-18 Bolo.

Let me choose a relatevely easy one and I´ll start.....

I would like to see the B-18 actually.

Its one ugly bird but I have always admired it. (not sure why)

Hi Mike..........

Finished the metal structure (strips of paper) of the Glass front of the Bololast night, so a few more days for some details and I will post pics.....

It is unbelievable how this aircraft has been left in "the cold" by ki manufacturers!!!!!, this bird was in the AAF from 1937 to 1944!!!! and the Navy used it continuosly during the war to patrol
all US coasts!!!!!!!. Canada also used it a lot..

This model was really an adventure since you can´t find decent plans anywhere. I was very lucky, great people work at the Air Museum in Washington D.C., I wrote then for plans and they wrote back that they were going to make a search since they could not find any when I asked. 3 Months later I received an envelope from them with beautifull old plans of the Bolo!!!!!...totally free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I owe them one!!!

Your right, I dont know why a decent kit has'nt been made of the Bolo, at least in my scale which is 48th.

I'm looking forward to some pics and updates.
