| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:42 |  | | Views : 5999 | | These props are not really that hard to carve. Just give it a practise try on a soft single piece block of balsa. This was my 7th out of 8 props - 2 of which were practise. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:39 |  | | Views : 5990 | | It came out as 3 distinct wood grain colors repeating in the prop. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:38 |  | | Views : 6245 | | I then hand carved and sanded the Axial prop, stained the whole prop with "Golden Oak" color, and then clear coated with Krylon Clear Gloss. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:35 |  | | Views : 8009 | | I let the 13 painted rectangle plank sheets dry completely, then I white glued them all stacked together and clamped them up in one big prop carving block of 13 layers and let it dry for one week. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:31 |  | | Views : 871 | | Each balsa layer sheet plank was brush painted in acrylic paint - 1st layer "Bronze" color, 2nd layer "Burnt Umber" color, and 3rd layer "Brown" color, and repeating Bronze, Burnt Umber, Brown, Bronze, etc. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:27 |  | | Views : 749 | | My best balsa laminated hand carved (mostly sanded) prop - a German "Axial" prop. I made the prop carving block out of 13 layers of 1/32" balsa sheet planks. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 08-Dec-16 19:15 |  | | Views : 875 | | You know those annoying little flags that the lawn care people stick in yard for you mow down? I knew that they would come in handy some day: Intake tubes and exhaust stacks here finished in Metalizer paint. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian | Build | 08-Dec-16 19:12 |  | | Views : 930 | | Excuse the focus here, but I think that this is going to be the Ignition harness wiring style. Copper wire, Solder, Heat-shrink tubing and various sizes of tubing and Hex shapes. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 08-Dec-16 17:40 |  | | Views : 804 | | Some of the tissue on the fuse came out so badly wrinkled, I had to cut out 4 panel squares for patching. It was a good thing that I had glued the edges of all the formers and longerons to the Metallic Silver tissue - it made it easy to cut out, and easy to glue on, the new panel section patches. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 08-Dec-16 17:29 |  | | Views : 770 | | First try at Metallic Silver tissue. It was cutting tin foil with scissors. I had an inkling that it would not shrink well, or at all. |
