The forum saw action never seen before reaching 273,642 views. It was a roller coaster month with a low of 441 on the 11th and a high of 59.671 on the 29th. The strangest thing is that most of the visitors were from Columbus, Ohio.

The gallery did not reap any benefits from the tremendous forum viewership with only 9492 views for a total of  4,495,110.

Our membership model submission continues to be low. I was the sole contributor this month.

Thanks. I am pretty sure Lou will want me to finish something before the end of the year.

The woodcarving part of the solid model process in enjoyable, but the thought of molding plastic canopies and then adding interior details ruins the experience for me. :) Not sure if anyone has even tried vacuforming here on SMM before, so kudos for that.

So, does the canopy blank have to be carved slightly smaller to allow for the thickness of the plastic?

It is always good to have a standby project. My Avro 504 is starting to feel the same.

 The BAT has been relegated to when I get time. Will probably end up like the Flycatcher (long term).
