Troy Molitor Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wow is right. This is awesome Mark. Are the floats still available for the Revell George kit? I can't recall who made them initially? Great stuff going on here. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thank you, Bjorn. We had a great fun and frolic weekend. The weather was clear in Minneapolis, Minnesota, tho a bit cool for me, 20F. There was the Rehearsal Dinner Friday night, Wedding and Reception Saturday night, and Brunch on Sunday. A great way to bring in the New Year with existing family members from around the states and with the new family members. A good time was had by all. Brother Bear! Thanks a heap! but you give me too much credit. It's a millimeter off here or there. But don't tell anyone. Thank you, Brian. Panel lines and such are helping it to shape up. Thank you, Troy. The conversion I'm using is the Horizon Vac, which I intend to mold and cast in resin. The main float will require work as it it not deep enough. Nor are the edges sharp. The wing floats have a good shape but the edges also require sharpening. I'm casting your canopy, so I haven't forgotten. Thank you, Peter. Thank you, Kevin. Just so you don't think I've been lollygagging around. Finding new longitudinal lines. Or are they latitude? I get confused. Overall. Closeup. Had to erase the incorrect lines. The Vertical Stabilizer: Bad lines have an X thru them. Good lines have the V or Arrowhead. Just these two. Still more to do. Thank you for looking and liking.

dodgem37 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Thank you, Shawn. Hope all is well in St. Louis. The Weather Channel has been giving stormy reports for your area. RICK K! Thanks for popping by and saying hello. IOU a phone call. Have been filling in the fillet. Panel lines complete. Used mechanical pencil lead for emphasis. Made new breather openings toward front. Backed them up with some .040 thick strip as structure. Close-up I. Close-up II. Close-up III. Horizontal stabilizer lead-in has a structure. Forget the 120 degrees. I don't know what that is about. Maybe an angle in/of the oval, or something. Really close-up. Sanded the downside of the fillet raised panel to make an angle. First I used paint pigment as a filler. Wrong! Then Apoxy-Sculpt. Mine is too old. So now I'm trying Tamiya Grey Putty. Strips of tape as alignment guides. Thanks for looking and liking.

Troy Molitor Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Awesome job here Mark. What is your reference by the way? I went back several pages and can't seem to find it. Love the work here. Inspirational for sure. Keep them coming. Troy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 Thank you, Troy. I have three references. The first: The drawings have come from this book. Rex pages: Fair Use Act in play: I see in the middle right photo that maybe I should change my raised fillet to a scribed fillet. The drawing I'm using. The second: For panel lines and cowling breather openings. The third: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=64591&hl= There are other Rex's in the book. There is a counter rotating prop one and one with a spinner that is found on the George. If you'd like I can post pictures of those. Thank you for looking and liking.
