Beautiful job!Finally finished the steampunk job on my ACME Spitfire
Awesome!Finally finished the steampunk job on my ACME Spitfire (I know it's been done before, but figured I'd try my hand at it). Anyone know where the CG needs to be on this? With all the extra stuff on it (along with foaming the nose and tail transitions) I want to make sure I get it close to where the original is.
Did you ever try 20 minute finish cure on papered fins and if so, the results ? Looks great, by the way, should be beautiful after some paint !Deuce is ready for paint:

Trying something different on this one: no filler/primer on papered fins. In the past I've found sanding it off the paper without scuffing the paper to be very difficult. So this time I spent extra effort getting all the edges smooth, and we'll go straight to regular primer and paint. Once I choose a paint scheme, that is. Thinking of maybe doing something red white and blue, since I have those paints in the house.
After my long tortured scratch builds, was fun to build something relatively quick and straightforward.
No, the paper *is* the finish, no reason I can think of to put epoxy over them, at least not for LPR.Did you ever try 20 minute finish cure on papered fins and if so, the results?
Hi and welcome. Here's your first dose of unsolicited advice: a broom is safer.Hey All, I’m new to the forum and thought this was a good thread to jump in on. This morning I vacuumed the mess of super fine balsa dust I created last night while sanding fins.
