Country:  | Fairchild 24
This is the fuselage of the "Fairchild 24". It's been building for
about a week, but there have been constant breakages because of how
small this is, and how clumsy I am. The fingers just don't work like they
use to.
I just got the first coat of sanding sealer on the nose-block.
You'll also note I've been evicted from the kitchen table.....
I'm on a folding table in the garage.
Charles

Yes..... the fuselage measures just about seven and a half inches.
The wingspan is only 12 inches. (305 mm).

Country: | Matt308: Yea.... she was afraid I'd get glue, paint, etc on the table,
and she found two (count 'em 2 !) straight pins on the floor. So I have
been re-located in the garage.

Country: | I was thinking of cleaning off the big table in our "computer room". This
is an un-used small bedroom where we have three computers, Cannon
copier, three printers and all the paper, envelopes..... etc that she uses
for her job as Secretary for the OES. But, then she'd probably complain
about the smell, the wood shavings, old sandpaper in her waste-paper-
basket......blah, blah.. I'm better off in the peace and quiet of the garage.

Country: | A garage is a man's sanctuary. I find much solace in mine. I have a large bench, stool, reading light, stereo, heater, fans, etc. With the exception of a bed, I think I could actually live out there.

Country: | Charles, looking forward to viewing your build.....great start!
Man I've spilled paint and glue on some kitchen table cloths in the past when I've been told BE CAREFUL, boy oh boy, that sends the missus into orbit.
Now I,m banished to the Rumpus/entertainment room table and no table cloths in sight.
