Title: Oh no! Not more Chipmunk pics.
Post by: Clint Ormosen on December 09, 2007, 03:12:00 AM
A few more from the JVL Chipmunk build. Not much to say except that I hate trying to carve two identical wingtips. The wing halves were joined tonight also.

Looking good.  Next time do like Al Rabe, carve one and make a mold.  Just kidding and MERRY CHRISTMAS.  DOC Holliday

Clint,

What, isn't that thing done yet?   LL~

Looks good. Make sure you take a look at the way Don Schultz did his Chip paint scheme. It was awesome. I plan to steal that paint scheme shamelessly when I build mine.

It's a little early for me to be thinking about the color, but I had planed to do the checkerboard scheme like Jim's original. I've never done a checkerboard finish.

Looks Great. I don't see how the wing tips  could be any closer or why would they need to be anyway? you're a great builder, keep posting those pictures. They inspire the rest of us to get back to the building table.

Thanks for the kudos. I'll keep posting the pics. The Christmas season is slowing me down some.
