Thanks, Carlos. Attaching them will be a struggle. The instructions are brief and concise...."attach the struts to the float. Glue floats to airframe...". There is nothing but one old, worn out eyeball to get it right.Stikpusher wrote:Now there are some true “modeling skills”!
That is superb work in creating the floats!

Re: Guillows 1/24 DHC-2 Beaver
What fun to follow you on this one, Lyle! Mighty fine job on the float tips!
Me, myself I decided to start big, and fail small...
Years ago I snatched a Guillows 1/32 scale B-29 kit. My landlord then in Bavaria made me an extension for my bench, as a 1/32 scale B-29 is somehow large...
Got the fuselage almost done, then lost track of it. I guess this one should be somewhere in my stash in the basement. Oh well...

Thank you, Thomas. You should dig the 29 out! I almost bought that one.

Re: Guillows 1/24 DHC-2 Beaver
Well, attaching the floats has become a chore, challenge and a P.I.T.A! So, to relax, I decided to carve out two prop blades...Not too bad. I "chucked" up a hunk of balsa in my drill and sanded it down to a roundy shape for the propeller hub. .
