Quote from: Joe C-P on November 12, 2024, 08:49:52 AM... Why is that so cool?

Nothing to do with me.  EricR had the original idea.  It's a law of nature.  Gull wings = cool.   

Today, after adjusting the wings to give equal dihedral on both sides I filled the gaping chasms at the roots on the topsides with clippings of evergreen and sprue goo.
I also tried shaping one of the resin surfboards into a more pleasing shape by holding it in the steam from my shed kettle.  Lets just say I think i'll scratchbuild the main ski...

And so it came to pass in the Land of Zen that things did not go to plan.

    ..im waiting for that to happen when I start my builds 

 
Nah, you'll be fine, Phill.
And you too, Fred.

Nothing yesterday,  nothing today.  Nothing until tomorrow afternoon if i'm lucky.

Work.

Still, gives the sprue goo time to set properly.  It can take forever if you splodge it on too thick.

PSR on the wing roots and remaining pitting on the previous PSR.

All flying surfaces attached.
I'm working on the skis.
I've scratchbuilt the main ski.  Now figuring out how to connect it to the underbelly with what used to be Do 17 undercarriage parts and some unknown legs.

Nice idea!!  

Coming together nicely & looking really good, Fred!  

Yeah that's looking very cool ..  

Thanks folks.

Just 1/2 hr at the bench today but I added some more bits to the ski and its suspension.
I also found a replacement cowling.  I still have the kit one but why keep something OOB when it could be changed?
If I use this it'll add back the length I removed from behind the cockpit.
Maybe its a three row engine now?

Too cool (hang is there a cool pun ban  ) on the main ski, that looks great

Yeah Buzxy ..I can't wait to see more of this
