Neither gun pictured here is complete. The top gun is the inferior design. The bottom a rendition closer to that of a Lewis Gun. The two Gumby guns go into the ”Magic Box”! |

The winter has thinned their ranks, probably with the help of the coyotes, fox, cougar and bears. Then there are the fly-ins.: eagles, turkey buzzards, ravens magpies. Interesting to watch. |

The Rapidogrph knock-off pens that I mentioned earlier not only don't work well on glossy surfaces, but don't dry either. After manhandling the plane to finish the panel lines, I found smudges, runs and fingerprints all over. I spent the better part of the afternoon with Q-tips and various cleaning fluids trying to repair the damage. I finally ended up using a Sharpie "Ultra fine poiint" laundry pen to finish the job. I had always planned on using some pastels to simulate the many rivet lines visable on the real plane, so maybe I can camoflauge some of the damage. Drat!!! |
