Flying

Mount wire mesh on your ceiling and fly airplanes over your wargame table.

This mesh is the kind used to reinforce concrete driveways.

Use a TV antenna to hold the airplane so it can fly at different altitudes.

Lockheed Electra

 A close up of the cockpit of my Lockheed Electra.

The pilot was a famous woman flyer.

Her co-pilot and navigator was her only passenger.

Using computer printed names in font size 6, I put their names on the bottom using superglue.  Then a coat of Tamiya clear coat for greater durability.

Lockheed Electra

My finished Lockheed Electra.

The interior is painted but the exterior has not been.  I tend to group paint my models.

The loop on the roof is so I can hang it from the ceiling and fly over my wargame table.

The model has nice resin cast engines and cute little fenders on the wheels.

Electra and Staggerwing

I have been working on my Lockheed Electra.  This is the navigator and pilot.

Here is the cockpit for my Staggerwing.

Instrument panel for my Staggerwing.

I use the little rubber bands from teeth braces to hold parts together.

These little bands are very helpful and being so small they don't have to be wrapped around and around the parts.
