some damn fine work on those engines, Woktek!

Welllll, Well, it took about a year, and a LOT of hiatus, but I finally filed the Piper Cherokee's air inlets of the front cowling to their correct shape!!!!!! I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I wasn't getting the right shape on the starboard side. Last night I had the brilliant idea of turning it upside down and acting as if I was filing the port side, and it worked phenomenally well!



Here's a before pic I found on the internet.


and here's a pic of the real thing: (not my photo)
 
Thank you, Wojtek. I'm so proud of myself! now I can finally resume work. I've still got to create the fuel selector valve and the air vent that goes on the pilot's side wall, and the thrust and mixture levers, and I believe I'll be done with the interior
 
Likewise. The only thing that's been on my workbench for the last few months is a layer of dust!
Darned hands won't allow any modelling, and I'm way behind with one commission, and have had to postpone the second, for the Stirling diorama. Hopefully though, I can at least make a little headway with the latter, starting tonight - if the stiffness in my right shoulder, arm and wrist eases off a bit more.
