some different views on fixatives can be found here what is the best way to preserve paper models for years to come ? <~ link Thats odd I seem to have a blackhole under my work table as well. That is one of the reasons I scan all my printed kits before I start building. ~ happy building |

Well ya know.............
it was a Pup....... she was just jealous that you were spending too much time with the "dog"! :p I love the Pup......... you've done a great job (again). If it wasn't for the not so famous Sopwith, Fokker could have won the war for the Germans with his mono-plane. Check out Gil's and Lief's tutorials on laminated paper props.......... not that yours looks bad or anything. (maybe a solid prop will stand up better to 'teh debil' john |

Thanks John.
You might be right about her being jealous. I know its hard to believe but she is a mostly Siamese. I have studied Gil and Lief's laminated props very closely. As I do all their groundbreaking innovations. Frankly I am just not up to it at this point. Plus I have four other builds going and one scratch build/design. Soon though just have to find the right model, perhaps an early monoplane. If you look closely you will see one of her paws is off the ground. She actually waves at you with that paw. I have been trying for years to get a picture of her doing it but, this is the closest I have gotten. She also plays dead, and rolls over. Eating models is a trick I can live without.

The second build looks good, as did the first. I do like your cat too! I just don't allow any cats in my studio at all. Too many delicate things and too much poisonous stuff for them to get into.

The point about poisonous stuff is well taken. Some of the things we modellers use are dangerous to pets, children and even adults. ***** We should all be taking precautions to ensure that our enjoyment of our hobby does not lead to misery for another ***** |

Both wings done, lowers attached. You can really see how the pup's large, thin wings allowed it to literally fly circles around any other fighter aircraft of the period.

This second build has gone very quickly, Douglas. The Pup has to be one of the most appealing aircraft ever built. It just looks right from every angle and your model with the subdued brown and grey color scheme is very pretty indeed.
The photo of Dunning landing aboard Furious is a classic -- with the matelots reaching out to grab the airplane! Don |
