[B-17engineer]

I'm going to go. Talk to you on Friday!
Have a great night!

My best to the family!

 

[Wurger]

Thanks Harry...see you.

 

[B-17engineer]

Well I think its lookin' pretty dam sharp. Except the mask on the bottom got a bit screwy so I am doin' that now.

 

[Wurger]

These masks for the shark's jaws looked better when you cut them with the scalpel.Saying that I mean the those both looked the same.These new ones are of different shapes. About these eyes don't mention at all.

Harry you have the pic and profile of the fuselage area of 112 Squadron P-40s. Why are the shapes of masks still different?

 

[B-17engineer]

I printed them right from the pc. Made the template again, and cut exactly.

 

[Wurger]

...

 

[vikingBerserker]

Looking good mon ami!

 

[Wurger]

No they don't

 

[B-17engineer]

by the time I got this f*cking right Terry's decals would've gotten here...

 

[Wurger]

Sorry Harry but it is not my fault, right?

OK. A lesson of the geometry.

Question ... How many common points doas a circle have with a straight line being contiguous to the circle?

 

[B-17engineer]

2? I am taking algebra so I wouldn't know..

 

[Wurger]

I see. Not two points but only one. Of course it is very difficult to see a such thing because of the pencil thickness. But have a look at the pic below. Do you understand?

 

[B-17engineer]

Oh I see...

 

[B-17engineer]

Yep I know, do it again...

Can we agree it doesn't have to be perfect... seeing it is my first model..

 

[Wurger]

Oops...we have criss-crossed our posts. Let's continue...alright?

I'm sure you have asked yourself "What the stupid guy is trying to say me and how it can help me with cutting?". Am I right?

So look at the pic below please. Any thoughts?

 

[B-17engineer]

I see. That's what I was doing but getting pointed ends.

Stupid? Why, I've never heard any Doctor is stupid.

 

[Wurger]

Thank you Harry...

But if you see ...could you tell me or expalin what these blue lines have in commen with cutting of circles or rounded edges?

 

[B-17engineer]

If I make seperate cuts and turn the paper I'll get a circle. But there is no circle I have to cut... wait is there? I am so confusedddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

 

[Wurger]

Harry the example is not about a circle and a line only . This is for all things that have rounded edges.

Look at the pic. This is the spot for the shark's eye.It is a little bit simplified scheme but still OK. But I'm sure you can notice that the eye spot consists of two circles of different diameters ( red colour) and the rest of its surface ( blue colour). Am I right?

 

[B-17engineer]

Can I copy that to Irfanview and resize it?
