This little model is coming along, but it will not be finished by tomorrow. If we get a grace period, it might get in under the wire.

The wheels are my second departure from the paper-only rule. These are another thing I have been teaching myself to cast, and my poorer efforts are useful for this plane as long as the small bit that peeks out of the wheel pants looks okay. I embedded short-shot resin wheels into the cardboard core of the wheel pants and will fold the skins of the wheel pants around them.

That will leave "only" strutting everything together and adding details such as the prop, tailwheel and rigging. After Christmas I should find time to do it.

A good model is any model you can walk away from.

Even with the extension, I won't be done by tonight, or even by the New Year. For the best of reasons - having too much fun with my family to feel like hitting the modeling bench. So I'll call this one a DNF and will finish it in my workbench thread.
