Bruce, I like how that airframe is coming together. One question- it’s still an airframe if it’s a biplane, right? Anyway, I’m digging it so far. Especially since you’re following your heart on it.
Carlos, you’re doing good work on that camel. She’s progressing nicely as well.

Great seeing your progress, Carlos! You are a wizard with plastic card. Looks like you feathered in a strip piece with glue. Is that your technique?
Ken! Beyond words. Thank you for your friendship.

Don’t need no stinking booth! I have a sofa! That is great as are the pics and your progress.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Yes; no tool excuses for sloppy drilling. Those handles are sweet.
Make more models!

She’s got wing! And she’s on a couch! With wings! I’m weirdly turned on. This is awesome! Also somebody got some new tools!?

Indeed! Now let’s see what kinds of mischief and merriment will be possible with each!!!jkim wrote:Those look like QUALITY pin vises!
Basically you described the plot of a vintage “blue movie,” so yea, perfect. Did I just stray off topic? Remember in “The Getaway” the moment when McQueen crushes the model he was building in the joint because he can’t stand being inside anymore? Yea. COVID, baby. Get me outta here now.KennyX wrote:She’s got wing! And she’s on a couch! With wings! I’m weirdly turned on. This is awesome! Also somebody got some new tools!?
