Which wood filler do you use -
Hey everyone, So I noticed some issues that I will need to take care of on the hull. I got with model expo and they are sending me the cut sheet so I can fair the hull. (think thats the right wording). I have looked at just about all of the build logs for his model and have learned a lot of great information. I also learned that at the end of the day its my model so I can change things with in reason to make it mine, meaning my ocd self shouldn't sweat the small stuff lol. I do work full time so it will be a slow build. I also have looked at many other model builds and have learned so much information about this hobby. I cant wait to get back to more hands on with this build. thanks

question when you sanded down from Station 5 to 9 how did you ensure the gaps between the stations faired through. Thats the issue Im finding also did you have any issues with station 9 or 8 getting the template to match up?

Ive lucked out my father in Law has a lot of mixed prime wood above his garage that I can get from him. One of my sons parents had some red cedar trees knocked down and they let me go cut it and get it and I had it milled. My cost about 150 and ended up with 85 planks of beautiful cedar. We have a lot of tree cutting companies here in Louisiana some times Ill go to them before they cut the wood for fire wood and by a piece of a big branch or trunk. Typically Im looking for pecan or oak.

Chuck I know what you mean. I do other wood working and the wood I used has gone up so much I cant afford it even now in 2022, and here in Southern US every time we have a hurricane it shoots up even more

Afternoon everyone, Well its been quite a while since I have been on here. I started the Phantom back around 2014 and quickly realised I had no idea what I was doing and no Idea about wood working. Of course life happened and the build went to the wayside. Now my son has left home and joined the Navy, my daughter is growing up, so I have a bit more time to myself now and have an outlet to escape to. I am in the process of setting up my build desk in my sons room. (dont worry I still have his bed so when he comes home hes not on the floor) lol. Since Ive been gone I actually have done quite a bit of wood working from wood turning, building and carving. So I think Im a little better prepared for my build, note I said "little". I reorder the plans for the Phantom due to the ones I had got messed up pretty good. As soon as I get the build desk fixed up Ill start posting pics of where I am in the build and go from there. Its good to be back with such a great group of people. thanks Scott
