Out2gtcha Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We don't seem to have a jaw-dropping emoticon here, so you'll just have to pretend that I've used one. That is simply spectacular. Possibly the most realistic and convincing scratch-built landing gear parts I've seen. Kev Id say its deserved............... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripaman Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 God Almighty, you have a milling machine... well that explains a lot Hi Rich, love the machines, they do help alot. This is a project that transcends a few different disciplines and combines them into one. Modeling,scratchbuilding,machining and artistry all rolled into one. Awesome. J Thanks very much Jerry, I still feel that if you have the right tools, someone to teach how to use the tools, drawings, anyone could build what I have done so far. Nice work, but Rich you know you're gonna have to get busy soon and start weaving the fabric for the rear fuselage. Wow Richard, I am going to have to come out for a look. Just got back from Houston, spent the week there to get out of the flood ciaos here. Hi Ron, We will have to get together soon, has been a week eh!!

Ripaman Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi Grant, Long time since last Post, as always summer gets in the way of getting down to the model room But having a great summer, daughter got married, had all son inlaws faimly down from Fort St John BC, they camped out at our place due to the floods in June, also had my brother and family out from England, so it was trips all over Alberta to show them all the nice parts, and also the best part was drinking lots of beer with my Bro . Will be back sometime in Sept once I start making parts again. So hope everyone is having a good summer. Regards Richard Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
