Den Moran Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 This is a letter I sent to Andrew Newman, the brilliant ossie who made foamcutting bows simple! Hi, Andrew - Den from Wales here. I have made the bow as per your instructive vids, and it does exactly what it says on the can - brilliant tool! So thanks for your dedication and hours of testing so that we could all get it together without fuss. For my first project using the bow, I want to cut a Stearman Bipe PT 17 wing. As a scale point, the covering shows 'dips' where the ribs/aerofoils are - any ideas how to replicate them, please? Nadolig Llawen (Happy Xmas!), Den Anyone else have any ideas,please? Cheers, Happy Xmas! Den Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Certain planes such as Avicraft Moronic etc ( not scale of course ) use a partially veneered foam wing. The rear part of the wing has 'capstrips' of veneer only while the front D box is fully veneered. This gives the illusion of wing ribs. You could even put 'capstrips' onto a fully veneered wing.
