PROPELLER

Hi Thierry! Sorry for you, but: Both elements have to be soldered in same time anyway... And one more a time, why silver solder? 900°C! This is the melting point of brass as you can see by yourself. I use 145, 180 and 200° soft solder... Dan.

All the pieces of foundry are a real challenge, anyway! Do you think about a solution? Foundry (lost wax) or machining? I said challenge... or/and an issue... Good luck Roy! Dan.

Thank you Sam and Harvey... And is true I hope my pictures talk for me and my poor english! I'm glad you enjoy my work gentlemen. Dan.

Chassis, more, but not the end! Rear... The central parts, bended, will receive front and rear ones. Note the notches free, for the final adjustment, on the jig. All the pieces are riveted. Rails are OK, for now... And the removable master become a jig! Crossbars will coming soon... Dan.

Thank you very much gentlemen8 Much appreciated... Dan.

A fine and smart solution! Congrats! On a Pratt Burnerd chuck... What is behind? What is the make of the lathe? Dan.

Thanks gentlemen! Today, chassis. For those who like me there are few do not know how is this one, two spars in "U" finished at the front and the back in this way: Here is how I approached this problem. Four pieces that will be grafted on the rails. I grant you, they were not really easy to achieve! No photo, but I left some pucks ... The graft, note that only the upper part of the "U" of the spars is present, these being realized from two welded angles, but this will be for the future ... The rear: And all the grafts ready ... Thanks for watching! Dan.

To me too! Good idea... Very realistic. Dan.

WOW! What a challenge! What kind of metal did you use? I saw some solder lignes on the body and the metal is white... Thanks for sharing! Dan.

Thank you gentlemen! I agree Roy, I agree... Dan.

Thanks chaps! Dan.

This time, she's really finished! Thank you very much to all for your kindly comments during this work... To Codger, every day I will able to see also all the faults! Dan.

Beautiful and extremely realistic, not any chance for Pebble Beach awards! But for me, it's truly the way I love... Congratulations sir! Dan.

OUPS! The real second pic... Sorry, Dan.

Thank you very much gentlemen! Around the master, more... Some correction of course and I have to plot all the structural lignes, done. Aperture for the radiator: Parallels you know, not very easy, but with the magical tool, who said mill? Sometimes, Mac Gyver skills are needed... Thanks for watching, Dan.

Excellent! Truly realistic, congrats sir... And the paint job is perfect, what happens? Dan.

Gepetto's car, same way during the re-building... (Carrosserie Dominique Tessier)

It makes sense for old cars too... And it is the unique technique at that time! Dan.

Well done sir! A fine step in fact... Dan.

You are welcome southpier... Well,a ton of dust later: You can note the new background... And another ultimate tool, home made: Lot of work still needed, but the master is going on! Dan.

Well, now may I have the measures of the Corvette? Dan.

Thanks Thierry! Some work is still needed... Dan.

You are correct Sam. Sawing, filing then sanding... on pine wood indeed. Some dust in view in the workshop! I have to use a good strength wood for forming the aluminum above. More soon, Dan.

Thanks Steve, and welcome to the club of disabled painters for Harvey! Dan.

OUPS! 1/8 scale as usual... How I can change the title? Thanks, Dan.
