starting to take shape
well i did much work today... on the grille, i should have been studyin for my end of semester exams, i have one tomorrow
this was more fun hehe, Its come along way in just one day, all gaps were filled ect, and it is starting to take shape!!!! to get both sides the same required hours of sanding. This is how it looked at midday today after filling and sanding: And this is how it looks at 6pm this evening, there is a thin piece of balsa that you can see that has just been glued to the bottom lip, this is because the initial curve didnt quiet line up.... also i am realy fussy when is comes to small imperfections!!!, check it:
