From model to homebuilt
See guys, it can and has been done as you pointed out. I started drawing my fuse outline. I stand 72" tall. So for a guesstimation, I got a 12" doll and sat it in my drawing. The fuse is 36 inches long. The full scale version would be approximately 18 to 20 feet long. I am currently studing several plans to see how things are laid out. This is the ultimate in modeling. Give me you input. This is what this section is for!
