that does look better cut out! thanks for the tip :) back the the wire hinge - sorry! thats interesting how you made it. Did you use CA to attach it to the tail section? Gluing wire to paper has always been a problem for me. Thanks! Chris

yeah - compound curves are a bugger in paper..... they can be done but not by the faint of heart with good results, need lots of strips basically. can you give us an approximate size? If you are talking modeling clay then you arent talking very high detail... Can we see a sample of the...

wish I could see those hinges a little better ;) hope you can get that fit issue worked out! Chris

looking forward to that! :) Chris

great info! thanks for sharing that with us :) Chris

these are all I have seen! :)

Doh! :)

oh yeah - I know that, I have just never seen a close up of a radiator hose on a corsair. I just always picture them like in my car - nice and smooth :) but I hear ya on your reasoning! Chris

WOW! Blast from the past on this thread! ;) Asking for permission is the key. For instance in my shop anything and everything can be repainted and sold through the shop. You even get a cut of the sales as the repainter :) You just need to seek my approval and the designer also gets to see the...

great work! Thanks for the idea on the cord - do the real radiator hoses have that texture? Thanks Chris

Also called a screw punch if that helps :) here is a link so you can see a pic http://www.bonanzle.com/booths/pummkkinn/items/AITOH_Japanese_Screw_Punch_Book_Drill_9_Bits_See_Video Not exactly like mine but pretty close.

OK - The proof is in the pudding they say :) Here are some pics with some commentary. I cut out everything round with my paper drill - thank goodness for that! Next steps and other mods I will be doing following the pics! The main cockpit page pre cut This is the radio box - please note...

WOW! this is awesome :) thanks for all pics and comments :) Chris

Thats VERY good :) If I might make one suggestion - CONTENT! heh heh - you could print itty bitty pictures on the pages or even teeny weeny scribbles to look like writing. Personally if its in a diorama I like pics that would go with the theme! :D Chris

SWEET! I like that a LOT! Chris

yes indeed it is :)

Leave the case on!!!! Why didnt I think of that... :) learn something every day! Chris

Its time to get this ball rolling :) all supplies on hand - I will likely do some painting experimenting along the way so might be a bit slow to start. Cockpit will be first up but forgot to include it in the pics below :( anyhow - just to show you I am ready here are some opening shots...

OUCH! Usually it consists of knife (or really delicate complex part) rolling off the table between your legs and typical reaction? Close your legs to catch the part - result= stab/crush! :(

Looks awesome! How did you glue the wire to the engine block? I always have trouble gluing metal to paper plus you must be torquing on it a bit to bend it! Thanks Chris
