Part of the reason I don't cut the landing gear struts as thin as the pattern is because my eyes don't see as clearly as they used to, so I have more trouble with very fine cuts. I am more likely to cut too far, or off to one side, and destroy the tiny part (based on prior recent experience). So I'm settling for the method of trimming wider and using the excess for added strength. Not as pretty, but practical.
I'm taking a short break from planes (partly because I have more coming in the mail in a day or two!) to work on tugs. They are also complicated for their size, like the airplanes. Since I don't see tugs in very many aircraft carrier photos, I'm only going to make two of them.
- Thanks Philip!
Best regards,
Kurt
