I can just see the paper dog-fights now. Hope neither of you carry lighters, we wouldn't want any models going up in smoke
The model looks great! Thanks for sharing Gerardo

Dan,
No more dogfights. When I was much, much younger my buddy and I used to have real wars using plastic models in 1;72 scale. We stopped when all the models we had designated as "no-great-loss-if-destroyed" were exhausted. It still gives me shiveres when I look back and compare time spent to build one versus few minutes needed to crash land it or crash into the adversary....

OUCH!!!
This maybe not a dogfight, but is definitively a sad memory reminder. I had many plastic models that disappear on such "dogfights" (crashing them one another). |

I think most of you knows how to make wheels. But, for those who wonder how I make them, here's the process.
I begin laminating the pieces to make them as thick as I need them. In this case, is 1mm cardboard for each circle. The ones with white in the middle will be cut-out. Here are the pieces with removed centers. These are the outer most parts of the wheel, so it can give a sense of depth. Next is to glue each circle with wood glue. I left them dry for a couple of hours. At left of the picture is the "sandwich" of circles. At the right is the sandwich but the edges were already sanded. Next is to paint them black. In the meantime, I cut the rims. Note that in my case, I prefered to make them separate, to give that sense of depth I was talking about. When the paint is dried, I thought of make the wheel marks. That I do it with the Xacto knife. This occurred to me while checking some old pictures from internet of a Corsair... so I thought "if I want my friends at Papermodelers to see this thing as a Corsair, I ought to make it like this". So I did. The wheel with its wheel marks. Both wheels are ready to finish them up. Now I can prepare the central piece of the wheel (rim). All installed on the wheel. The final products in their place. Yes, I know, they can be enhanced. Suggestions are welcome. |

Suggestions? How about making a mistake, so I don't feel so amateur!
Great job on the wheel! Looks like a darn wheel, not paper!
