RE: My Somethin Extra Build
As promised, here are the first round of pictures. You can see the completed tail feather assemblies. I also glued together the wheel pants. The seams leave something to be desired, but I will get them smoothed down. Speaking of, I am planning on using plastic film (Monokote or Ultracote, whichever I end up getting) to cover the wheel pants. If I need to use some sort of filler material and sand it down, what should I do to prep over that so that the covering will stick to it?
Also, there is an overall picture of the building board that I made, as well as a picture showing the adjustable feet underneath the baord. Personally, I think it's a neat solution for obtaining a flat building surface, but I would suspect I'm not the first one to do it, or some variant thereof.
Next up is to start buidling the wings. I like starting with the tail assemblies for some reason. It just gets me into the right mind for working on a plane and not jumping in straight to a more critical object like the wings or fuse.
