From top left: 1. One of gil's primo tyre templates. To get these to fit is just a matter of resizing via the photocopier. Applying them is soooo simple, just soak them in a slow glue (water-soluble is actually good here as it soaks right in), and then wrap around your tire template. Easy. 2. Why I hate petalled forms!! These were attempts 1 and 2 to make up a bombload for the 170 (I assume that stores were carried externally?) - I have since found Gil's tutorial on making up petalled parts but have yet to give it a go - watch this space. 3. My first attempts at the engine cowlings. My most successful so far have involved working from front to rear i.e. from narrowest end to widest end; and using a petalled joining strip i.e. like this: WWWW and lots of slow soaking-in glue. Accurate cutting is so important as when I finally got one I was happy with, it was too small to fit the fuselage circumference!! 4. First attempts at rolling the gear legs - don't worry, have already reprinted replacement parts for round 2. |

Had I viewed this thread before I posted in reply to your MJ post, my reply would have been much different.
Once I got my foot out of my mouth, I found that post to be quite funny.:D Hope you are not too offended by my stupidity.:p Looks fantastic!

No worries, Phil - I'm certainly in no position to be laughing at anyone else's stupidity...

I often use a pair of curved scissors that the RC racers use to trim the wheel-wells of thier new plastic car-bodies for cutting circles. Works great! I'm curious to see how you resolve your petal troubles..
