Phil; I'm not sure this will help but I think Aleene's "Quick Dry Tacky Glue" might help. It's very thick....maybe too thick...Moab

Amazing!!!!...Moab

Looking great!  I like the term you used..... "Drama."  I've had soooo many dramas...Moab

Thanx for the explanation Danny. Did your wrist hurt after making the 120 cuts for the 12 wheels? Thanx again...Moab

I just started following your build and the photos and explanations are “incredibly” helpful. I’ve gotten many good ideas and methods of working. Thank you...Moab

I recently built a Woody Joe kit. The laser cutting was the best I’ve seen. Although it was an easy build it may be a problem for someone new to modeling since there are no plans and the instructions are in “Japanese.”  The illustrations in the instructions are excellent and easy to follow. The wood was excellent!...Moab

Wow Danny! The wheels and everything else look great. Your skill and patience are over the top. I look forward to the article about the circle cutter.  I have one and have not had any good results.

I'll keep you in my thoughts...Moab

I just started following your build and it’s amazing. Thank you for the great photos and explanations...Moab

I totally agree with the comments above. The only reason I would consider buying it is because it would force me to purchase their shoulder plane and although I love tools it’s way too expensive. Also, my wife would destroy me when the credit card bill arrived...Moab

Can’t be another birthday. Considering the tools you already have you must be in heaven...Moab

Thank you for posting. Great illustrations!!!...Moab

I’ve used FedEx office many times with great success and excellent accuracy. I’m not sure about the prices but I “think” a 20” x 30” print might cost about $30. They also offer sizes larger than that. $30 may be expensive but for me the benefits are substantial...Moab

Wow! Model and photos are fantastic!!...Moab

Wow!...Moab 

I spend a lot of time In San Diego but bummed out I won’t be there when you visit. Kathryn is one of my favorite models and builds but I’ll miss her...Moab

Really looking excellent...Moab

My painting has improved greatly since using some of tips above. Thanx to all...Moab

Mike; not sure this will help basically because I live in Chicago and there’s a couple of excellent fine hard wood yards in this market.

I go to Owl lumber yard. They have a broad range of cutoffs many with awesome grain patterns and you can’t beat their prices.  There may be a yard relatively close to you.

Your pens look fantastic.!!...Moab

Great build and great photos...Moab

Vaddoc; you mention that you seal the wood with a water based wood sealer. Would a water based polyurethane work...Moab

Great info guys. I can’t use an airbrush and have yet to paint a model to my satisfaction...Moab

 CaSketchup files be used to order plastic parts. ....Moab

Thank you for the feedback Tony. I'll check into Turbo Cad. I look forward to seeing more of your build....Moab

I  bought one and it's great for small jobs that don't need the power of a full size drill. I bought one for a modeling friend and he loves it....Moab

Tony; I built a boat similar to yours. The only similarity is that we both used wood. Your craftsmanship is absolutely superb and the boat a real beauty!!  

Which cad program do u use and what is the learning curve to become proficient?....Moab
