Default RE: TNPC Shoestring Build Thread

90% done with sanding and shaping fuse. Wasn't really as much work as I thought it was going to be, looking at the box shape I started with. I say 90% because there are some area's that I'll have to fill, regardless of how careful I was during assembly, due to small gaps that were left between parts that appeared during sanding. I'm also going to work on the wing saddle, using resin/micro-balloons to build up and fill the gaps. I'm going to need a zero clearance model now, because I've finally decided that I'm going to glass and paint. I've already got almost as much time in sanding as assembling, so a few more hours sanding for paint prep won't matter!

Pictures here show the deck and fuse assy before shaping...almost. Forgot to take a picture before I put the plane to one side.
