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!

Great job! I think it is awesome how you even duplicated the taped on "4". Thanks for sharing!
