A tale of interrupts.... Hi, Getting back into it, a little bit. Wow what a month or two. Two surgeries, got done, one planned for, the other for MRSA. And then C: drive fails, and then COVID 19 strikes..... Well enough of the interrupts. Now starting back up, working the wings. I have...

Hi, I just found this post! Wow! I love the frame you made. I went to pull you document on Doll Assy, and it was not there, do you have it somewhere else? This is really neat way to build a Mech. Thank you for sharing! Scott

I will pull what I can and then..... decisions decisions, decisions! It has at least one good magnet in it! Scott

Zergei619, I like your figures, they look great! I may come back to these, but, I have a Valkyrie to finish, will need some guards to secure it! Your link to instructions seem to have some good pix of the backpack, that is the part that blew me away. I will revisit that, later. I would be...

Hello, My PC died..... C drive failed, awaiting parts..... So, no new pix, but am doing some modeling and gathering pix. Scott

Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts, during this time. I am overall, well, and the good news! is that the biopsy of the lymph node shows ZERO cancer, but, there is a long running infection of some kind that is the root of all of my issues, including the lymphoma... grrr...

Now for the fuselage and laminations, before pictures. Next to the cockpit armour plated cut and edged. Left side pieces cut out, edged and some more greebles added to the lamination panels. Test fitting. T Final glued on state. I agree, adding the laminations is worth the...

Finalizing the tail pieces. Edge coloring did not match, oh well, looks good when competed. Glue layers together and weight them. Using Prsimacolor markers for edges, did not match as well as I thought. Final look of the tail pieces, I kinda like the edging being a little...

Looks like you are having fun! I am surprised at the length difference that the 4% makes. Just a little bit easier to work with, being bigger.

Hello, Zathros, yes, my second real Paper model... Did a little building in paper, a Canon bulldozer, and that convinced me this was fun. Quite a few Plastic models in my youth, some model railroad modeling. The first real paper model is at...

Begin by cutting out large sections, then color each edge, then cut the smaller sections, color their edges and then glue on, carefully! Some results, both booms, one with new layer and one without. I like them, with. When working with rectangles, mark a specific end of each piece...

Okay Okay! I agree with all of you, so here is the process and results. Begin with printing out a second sheet, going to the garage in 14 degree weather, and spraying both sides with matt finish sealant. Then, waiting forever for it to dry, and finally, when brought into the house, listening...

Good article, well written, conversational and an easy read. Thanks for writing and entering it and Congratulations on making runner up! :CHEERS::BRAVO: Scott ;-)

Now a question, I am thinking about using the second print to cut out each panel, edge with color and glue to the model. What do you think? With the panels. Without the panels. Scott

Next is the spars to the tail. First we use an embossing tool to score the fold lines. Then we cut them out. Using a clear box lid, we fold over the score lines. Now to reinforcements.... I found some flat wood sticks in Walmart and sanded them a little to narrow them, then...

Moving on to more sub-assemblies. I had a devil of a time figuring out how to choose the landing gear. I had built the older Valkryie with the 4 landing skids in a tripod configuration with an extra in the middle back. When building this one, the bottom of the main fuselage had some skids and...

:cool::eek: I use the foam and round tool to shape the cylinder, then glue the ends together. Might make it easier. Scott ;-)

Thanks for all the comments! Sudsy, this is where you need to be careful to roll and glue while the glue is wet. I rolled them just after I glued the cylinders, and also, I used Aileen's Tacky glue, not our favorite, wood glue. The PVA is more flexible than the wood glue. And... not...

Final assembly of the engines. Start with the engine stands. Now we glue 2 assemblies at time together, using a little weight to get things to stay kind of straight. Assembled engines. I will wait until I have the tail spars glued on the main fuselage, before mounting the...

Thanks for the encouragement. Next engine section. Parts cut out, cylinders made. Ends placed in cylinders, and then the 'greble' strips added. Front section of the engine, with the fan. I wanted a little more detail, so I cut another fan out, and cut each blade out. Cut out the...
