Very nice, thanks for sharing!

Huge improvement with this treatment!

Another Masterpiece Charles! I always learn so much from each of your builds. Thank yo for sharing your techniques!

Love the concept and excecution ??

That is awesome, thamks for sharing! The model has held up extremely well.

In the marine world i have seen opposing vents to promote flow through ventilation. under way, positive pressure on one side and negative pressure on the other. I doubt that this rig would go fast enough to make much of a difference ?

Looks good. Here is one operated giving rides for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Yours truly in the Right Seat...quite an experience!

Wierd, wonderful, wow!??

Great work as always Charles! I am enjoying watching this come together.

Super nice build, thanks for sharing!

Great Diorama that really tells a story! Unfortunately, this actually happened to a freind of mine while painting his future award winning antique airplane restoration. Cat walked through a freshly painted trim stripe then down the previously painted fuselage ? Both the aircraft and "Millie" survived. Happy to report that after paint repairs the WACO went on to win top honors at the annual EAA convention in Oshkosh,WI.

what a fantastic group of builds Bruce! Thanks for sharing your WIPs and finished builds.

Try printing them on white paper and trimming very close to the image....or leave a little margin to emulate a white pinstripe around the flames. I have had success doing this on dark colors. Your model is so nice that I am sure you can bring it home!

she does a fine job flying it but can't reach the rudder pedals so only air work for now. Takeoffs and landings will have to wait a couple of years ?

looking great Charles!

Superb! Thanks for sharing!

Just came accross this old post.,, Amelia is now 9 and has been promoted to Chief Belly Washer on her daddy's Stinson.

I like it...Great (and Twisted) Minds think alike? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/117599-and-now-for-something-completely-differentpt1-photos-re-posted/

Wow those are so creative and awesome!!!

Amazing as always Charles!!!

?Lookin' good!

Search this forum for posts by Chariots of Fire. Charles Rowley gives a master class on scratch building these types of rigs.

Thanks! I am a big fan of rag and tube airplanes...even better if it is a radial! I work on real ones for "fun" ?

I had to create a unique set of wheel pants for a particular subject. I made a master from laminated sheets of styreen carved and sanded to shape then made a two part mold so that I could cast several resin copies. I built in an inverted "C" shape in the center to accomodate a tire and wheel. A hole was drilled in the inboard side for a metal wire axle which also strengthened the wheel pant to gear leg joint.

Absolute work of art Sergey! Thanks for sharing your build and the finished product!
