How did I miss this post. I'm assuming this in the new project.

Hi gentlemen!

Thanks sjordan! You are welcome!

ScaleMotorscars, yes sir, it's the new project!

Ive been waiting a long time to see a tutorial on carving a body buck. Once your done showing us the details of how to do this do you mind me coping it over to the Articles area?

[Ton]

Wow, is this buck used for a copper/brass hull?

[Egon]

Is there anyone who makes a mini english wheel ?

[ScaleMotorcars]

Funny you should say that. http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/...html#post16961

An old model maker trick. When working with wood blocks like this at times a center line is critical for measuring.

The best way is to glue two blocks together, however add lamp black used to tint paints to the glue to darken it. When the blocks are glued you then have a consistent center line no matter how much is cut away. Also two blocks will also help reduce checking or splitting. Multiple sections can be used for more reference lines when carving. I use this technique on a smaller scale when carving propellers for my planes with different types of wood laminated together.

Give it a try the next time.

Hi all and thanks!

Scalemotorscar, i'm sorry but I can't translate properly your question... Google either!

Ton, yes, first attempt but why not?

Egon, without english wheel...

late, but....

No worries Dan, I was only asking if I could copy this to the (How To Area) in the homepage.

Dan, can you share with us the tools your using to shape this buck?

And the translator will be back as soon as I can work out a few of the bugs.

[Egon]

ça vous dérange que je le copie sur la zone articles, my google translate.

Hello Dan, Are you using MDF for the buck? I am looking forward to seeing your development fo this car.

[PROPELLER]

Hi all and thanks!

To Daniel, OK, of course...
And my CNC workshop:
(with all my tools!)



To Big John, MDF, I dont know, sorry... I'm using a sort of engineered wood called

Hey, you have the same CNC shop I have. And the same model drill press. I feel so inspired.
