Congrats on delivering another beautiful wingy build! I won't be surprised if it will be published in FSM next...

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

Andrew, Todd, Andy, PJ, Anthony, and Boyd, much appreciated gents! This one is definitely a 'labor of love' in terms of the new owner being my Dad. I just hope I can manage to get it to him intact in Idaho...may have to invest a small fortune in packing peanuts.

Thanks Leon and Joel! Showed the pictures to my Dad on Facebook and he's looking forward to seeing it in the flesh. One suggestion I got from a buddy was to pack it in its own box and then pack that box into another box surrounded by peanuts so that's probably what I will do.

Lovely finish Bill. Black is something I have largely avoided so far, I do like the look you have on that.
Great build, and as always a pleasure to follow and lots learnt.

Stunning result Bill! If you've got a hot-wire setup you could carve perfectly fitting styrofoam packing - having worked in the parcel-delivery industry I can only recommend packing in such a way that it'll survive a nuclear blast. And avoid 'fragile', 'handle with care' stickers - we used to consider them to be a challenge |

And avoid 'fragile', 'handle with care' stickers - we used to consider them to be a challenge Thanks Dierk! I packed it with several layers of bubblewrap, air pillows, and foam peanuts and used the Russian doll box in a box approach, so hopefully that will be enough! I hear you on the fragile notice, that just would earn it an extra kick at the handling stages! |
