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

It'd be rude not to watch this. Although, you will be hearing from my solicitors - I used the Monty Python thing to introduce my I-16 copycat |

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL Santa's come. Pressies are opened. A bit of eggnog (the bourbon/eggnog ratio shifts dramatically later) , and some bench time. Then off to see "Rogue One". Got at start on the SS-25. This is a couple so days work. HOLY MOLY PARTS! Lots of parts right there. I wanted to see if I could do it... NOT clean the parts up, except for fit, and get past that, "Well I know they're there." It was weird but I didn't clean a sink hole or seam on 99% of all of that. A real challenge getting the 2 sides to line up with some many parts that are captured between. I ended up getting the main supports in there then trimmed off locating pins and positioning smaller stuff later since as previously stated, not seen, and they didn't lend much in the way of structural support. If your gonna do this, 1 word of advise. Get all the suspension and axle parts ready to go, lay 'em out neat and get them all in place with a slightly slower setting glue. Fit the wheels, but don't glue them yet, so you can weight it so all of the tire hit the road.    |

Looking good!
What do you use Tungsten Powder for other than as a weight?

Thanks guys.
CD it's made for weighting golf clubs but I use it like in the photo and in the noses of jets so they are not a tail sitters.
