I probably did that as a youngster, Stik! May take it out in the car later. Big difference, though....we would have used balloons in the spokes for the sound. Lips catch bugs.Stikpusher wrote:

Re: Guillows 1/24 DHC-2 Beaver
Spent hours trying to get a good outline of the windows so that I could cut them on the Silhouette cutter. Gave up and cut them out in about 20 min using a ruler and X-acto with a new blade. duh...…...Then decided to not use them. Oh well.
This morning, after pulling out the range and cleaning behind it (we are getting a new one on Friday....our Christmas for each other), came down and started carving out the nose pieces on the floats. Did some rough cutting on the block and my thumb.

And, as my dear Mama would say, "You had better quit while you are ahead!"......I'm calling the nose pieces done. Not bad for a first carving experience, I guess. They sort of look the part. Now, to get the struts installed and the floats attached to the airfame..

Nice! Are you going to put it on water when it's all complete?

Thanks, John. No, it will be a hanger queen with no clothes. I do not plan on covering it. I like that "industrial" look!

Looking good, bud. When I am away I have a moment’s anxiety checking in with your projects—I know your standards are high, so there is a steep curve to completion. I am glad you added the floats, Lyle! Outstanding work.

Thank you, Stuart. I’m happy enough with them. Hope to get the floats attached today.
