Greatmaker ManCityFan There is, no doubt, a LOT of glass in that kit. Good to know there is a mask. I want one of these some day. Oh, and stop going barefoot in the model room! Hey I was wearing crocks

Dwayne or Dman or just D. All comments are welcome on my builds.
"Just spent 2 1/2 hours masking most of the glass (still have the fuselage windows to install and do). Dear Lord if anyone brush painted these or made masks with tape, they deserve a medal. The Eduard masks saved my sanity"
Sad thing is I had another one of those little buggers in my toe tonight

I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. You just described an "Everyday " occurance here at Demon's Hollow Asylum.
But you did such an awsome job, it was worth it.
You forgot #7: go to the Doctor to have wire removed from eye!
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
Hunter Great looking start...Like DeWayne said, sorry for the trouble you encountered, but the wiring on the engine looks great.

Hey if we can’t laugh at our own folly what’s the point. Thank you both for your encouragement! I originally was gonna use monofilament for the wires but after I accidentally kinked one of the metal ones I thought that looked kinda spiffy. After the IP disappointment I bought a thin sheet of brass and a metal punch. Not sure how I’m gonna cut the outline though.

I hate to laugh at your expense, but the description of your frustration was pretty humorous. I have not tried to wire up an engine, but will be soon, so I am sure payback is in my near future. I will try to learn from your experience. Don't know about you, but I learn better from mistakes than doing it right. I remember the mistakes, but sometimes I will be doing something I have done successfully before, and can't remember a thing about how I did it.
Anyway, your IP looks great, and despite the trials and tribulations, the wired engine looks great too. Hats off for trying a new technique. Next time will go better.

Well you ever had how you wanted things to look like in your head but the reality just doesn't make the grade. That's how I feel about my attempt to make some homemade PE. I used a sheet of thin plastic and a small paper punch to cut a form. I didn't like how it ended up. Would have helped if I would have lined it up better before the superglue hardened. I posted the pic with just the decal applied as well. Londo's guide to engine wiring. (1) Cut way too long of wire. (2) Superglue wire to finger. (3) Superglue wire to tweezers. (4) Lose wire in carpet (5) Find wire by having it glued to shoe or by jabbing into toe. (6) Throw wire away and don't take any pictures of the engine. This is my first attempt at wiring an engine. Lesson learned drill the holes deep to better hold the wires.
