Thanks again Andy. Yes, building a full scale model would be less challenging. The trick is making a unique 1/4 scale model. My specialty is building miniatures, but some day I may build a full scale model, or I might just buy one. I would love to have one -- some day. Ralph

flyingtractors1:
Here's a little cutie -- Bull nose plane. Ralph

flyingtractors1:
A comparative scale. Ralph

flyingtractors1:
The wife thought the tiny Bull nose plane was so cute, and she "would just Love to have a 1/2 size pair for ear rings". That's the thanks I get! As if building the tiny size wasn't tough enough, now I get to do it twice more at half that scale. :loco: Ralph

That was a Challenge. Now an even Greater Challenge will be to make another one just like it. I have found that in fabricating my miniature pieces, every piece is unique, and making another just like it is virtually impossible -- except when employing the "Lost wax" process. But that entails a totally different set of much more complicated procedures, including building and painstakenly and accurately cutting complex rubber molds then injecting them with molten wax to produce identical patterns, etc. etc. So I will try to fabricate an identical piece to complete a set of ear rings.

NeoTech:
Its ok if I call the insanity ward on this one??

Im amazed bu these but i question the sanity of making them. I would get so darn frustrated. ;))
