i don't know how you got the curves to be so smooth in this small size. I struggled the one time I tried building this one in regular size :D

Beautiful, Jan!

What settings do you use to scale down to 1:200? I've been meaning to ask....

And I love your "water take-off" stands! How'd you make those?

Wow! Nice job and I see you did the Mckinnon(sp) conversion on one for the retractable floats...whoa cool

My stand is made with modelling clay that become hard when dry.

For resizing , I measure the parts (wing span by example) on my screen.:D

Jan,

Those models are jewels. Excellent work.

My Dad ran the Catalina Airlines Geese out of Avalon on Catalina Island in the 1960's/70's and my older brother flew them. I just got to sit back at the door and watch the water surge past on takeoff. Boy was that fun.

Keep up the great work,
Steve
