Tutorial Intermediate - Lockheed Ventura

[lastvautour]

I will attempt to post this Ventura tutorial on SMM as well as Facebook. I am also trial using imbedded text instead of posting text and image separately. This is to facilitate following the build on Facebook.

Note. Scale will not be mentioned as the builder can choose the size they want. Mine will be 1/72

Brilliant! The organization skills you have for your projects really show here. I like the format you are presenting in and it shows very clearLy the process being used at each step.

Looking forward to following the project.

Leaving the nacelles for a while, we move on to the most important aspect of the build.

Flip the wing block and start on the top of the wing.

Cleaning. I agree that this is a critical portion of the job. Helps find those small bits that usually leave the bench at high velocity. Keeps the peace too.....

Shaping the wing. Thanks for sharing the technique on carving a single piece wing with both dihedral and taper.

Nacelle will be carved and rough sanded in this and the next post.

Completing the nacelles. Once rough sanded, they will be put aside for a while.

I'll have to go look at the dollar store for some of those chisels.They would be good for occasional use on some tricky areas.

Project looks great so far.
