Great Videos, thanks for sharing. Can you make some videos on how you made the plug and the molds. I am an old time modeler and love seeing new techniques. I really want to figure this process out so I can make some planes that are not on the market. Keep up the great work!
In a couple of weeks we start a new super scale T-33 from scratch and its 65 " long fuse so quite a nice size. It's going to be 3-D designed with everything tested simulated and installed prior to making molds etc. So should be several months of tips & tricks to the initial flight. I also have a bunch of those videos in the Tucano series in my play list
Hello James..!! I agree with the question this user has posted. I have watched almost all your great videos and have learned a lot..!! In the Tucano build Part 2, you already have the mold halves finished and ready for lay-up. What I believe this person asking the question wants, and what I would like to see a video of also, is how you made those molds from scratch with all the alignment areas and how you got the shape(s) for the mold itself. I watched the series on the "flimsy" cowl you made a mold of and learned a ot from that...thanks. In that video you already had a shape to work from...what I am requesting is a video on how to go from nothing at all, just a concept to a finished mold for laying up. Do you think a video such as this can be done..?? I hope I have explained this correctly enough for you to understand Thanks very much. I have subscribed to the channel in hopes of more excellent videos coming out. I will be re-watching a lot more of the videos you have now...very informative. Cheers, Don
Yes, I will be doing a mold making video in the next couple of weeks. Also, vods on designing the model in 3D along with how I designed the five bladed prop and hub... and more..Thanks for the comment.
Great video! Waiting part #2!

James, thanks for sharing, how about building the plug and moulds video
Mold building will come in January. After the fuse I'm building the composite wings and molds
I've never thought to use a filler primer for the first layer. Awesome!
Hi some great videos here thanks for putting them out there. Can you provide some info on the mould making process. Thanks
Will be making the wing molds in a couple of weeks and will have lots of vids with tools and tips etc. Thanks for watching
Just found your channel and the aircraft look great. Really looking forward to seeing how you make the plugs for the fuselage and canopy
Great vid Ace...this will show guys just how much work goes into these layups
To true Rodger. wait till you see what's coming. Tell all your friends it's a cool one. Starts in a couple of weeks
Great job James! Thanks for sharing your workflow.
Very informative. What a cool design.
Thanks again for your input. Hard work but feels great when you see the end result.
Nice video Jim. Will you also do a video on how you made the mold?
Yes, I will be doing a mold making video in the next couple of weeks. Also, vods on designing the model in 3D along with how I designed the five bladed prop and hub... and more..Thanks for the comment.
Love this!! Just beautiful. Do you ever sell short Kits? Thanks for posting!!
Thinking about it
Will you show more of how you created the room enhancements like the shop vac?
Thanks for the question... Yes, I can do that in a little while.
