Chop, chop is how I got this far, now it is snip, snip!
Thanks Charles, Can I do a double layer for strength?

Looking forward to the next part Paul. You could always use paper or card as a skin, if it's going to be a static model.

 

[meatloaf109]

Don't know if I'm that clever. There are alot of compound curves on this beast!

 

[Rogi]

You can do it Paul even if you have to work nights!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Stay out of SWMBO's way and you might get it done...!

Good stuff Paul.

New picts when I get back from work this afternoon!

D@mn! I had forgotten how difficult tissue can be. Charles really has the touch! He can say that plastic is more difficult, but I think tissue is way more unforgiving.
I don't have the doping that is usually used so I have was using a 50/50 water/glue mix to seal the tissue. First coat of primer raised all kinds of nasty fuzzy stuff, especially on the stabilizer that I did first. I will probably up the mix to 75/25 glue/water, and coat it again.

I recall him saying sanding between 8 coats was a must. Mentioned the little hairy stuff popping up as well.

Can't wait to start building my F2b........ I think something has started here. Yah think?

You're doing great Paul and all them little fibres sticking up, it's soft wood me old mate, you'll get heaps of em.

 

[Crimea_River]

Starting to look like a Stuka now!

 

[meatloaf109]

Yep, I thought I had it smoothed enough, many coats and light sanding in between, then paint and: BOOM, fuzzy! Put on another coat that was probably closer to 80/20 glue/water and turned off the lights. I will check it in the morning.
