Ripaman Posted October 30, 2011 Author Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well guys I have been working on the tail plane for a little while, scale a drawing I had to 1:24 and using pictures I have. Just thought I would show you were I'am right now. Started by making the main spares out of brass tube and .003" brass shim then glued together, then made all the connecting spares out of plastic round and .005" sheet. made a jig so that I could keep straight and at this moment making all the connector plates out of .003" brass. I will post more as I build, hope you enjoy. Until the next post, Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Mark Hi Mark, thanks for looking in again. I use UMM-USA cyanoacrylate insta-cure+ 1-3 sec, thought I was going to solder the brass together but then thought the brass shim was to thin so I did not want to ruin the shape I had made.

Tomek Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That's what I need to practice! Systematic and well thought through modeling. And not be discouraged by extra amount of work put in building jigs and other support devices. Top notch modeling, Richard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big matt Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Oh wow! Very inspiring work Richard. Like Kevin says, this is what I aspire to. If I ever grow up maybe I can come close. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not be discouraged by extra amount of work put in building jigs and other support devices. Top notch modeling, Richard! Hi Tomek, building a jig was the only way to go on the tail plane, had to figure out all the angles so that I could make the brackets which the spars join to. I have not been doing to much to it since my last post, getting house ready for another winter, snowed a couple of days ago so should be back in the model room soon.

Anthony in NZ Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) Richard, I think you, Pete Fleishmann and Oliver went to the same school of model making. Its time for you to leave........its not fair showing us your pure engineering skills to us mere plastic assembling mortals! I am with Wolf, I might send you over my kits for you to finish off as well. Well done mate, truly inspirational!
