Landing gear
The gear struts are made of wood tooth pics with paper wrapped around and paper clips for the wheel axles. I drilled into the card base and then used super glue to attach in place. Nice and strong.
The nose gear bay is added at this point. I also added additional internal support to attach the node gear strut . The wheels are made of card stock. I used a circle cutter to make the disks that are sandwich glued Then I used a Dremel tool to sand them to shape. Painted Add the hubs and glue the wheels on using super glue. On gear. Isaac

Looks very good! I think I also had issues with the wings when I was working on one Eric's earlier designs; it is currently in my 'attempt again' pile... though I suspect my issues where self induced! ;^)
Regards, Robert |

Those tabs were the first "don't do" lesson I learned in my quest to do model design. I was trying to find an easier solution/alternatives to making formers. The accordion ribs on the Lippisch was another attempt. In the end, I bit the bullet and went back to the traditional formers. |
