Title: 1/72 Martin Marauder II

The project started with selecting the wood and printing the drawings. Cutting should begin next week after my bandsaw is set up.

The drawing says M but the dimensions are the same as the Marauder II

At the rate Lou builds, he'll probably have his done before get one piece carved!  ;)

Looking forward to building with you, Lou! And you, Gordon!

I can't dedicate as much time as I would like but some progress is better than none.

Not moving very fast. The bandsaw is up and running.

Moving along much slower than my fellow Marauder carvers.

The arrow you put on the wing reminds me of the (several) times I carved the leading edge on the wrong end.

Everything is in block shape for now. I just noticed I swapped the Port and Starboard engines.
