An Iron On Tutorial
« on: November 06, 2014, 06:38:44 PM »
Have any of the masters of Iron on covering ever posted a tutorial on here?  I ran a couple searches and did not find one.

Thank you

Dane, where did the Ringmaster art/lettering come from?

Mike-

The search function on SSW doesn't always seem to pick up everything it should, but I remembered this post by John Miller. So it took four different approaches (including one by each of John's monikers under 'author') before I finally found it:

http://www.clstunt.com/htdocs/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=103&topic_id=74286&mesg_id=74286&listing_type=search

There is a wealth of information in that archive.

Dane,

John sent me the art also and I turned it into vinyl stickers. It's nice art.

Your Ringmaster looks great!

You want Monokote expertise? I give to you! Get Faye Stilley's two books. Many time winner of the best monokote award at the Eastern shows. I have seen him flawlesslycover a fully compound wingtip at the AMA Expo in a demo session.

I saw it, I believe it is doable, but the guy is AMAZING. And je lets it all hang out in his books.

Sadly, I loaned my copies to someone and never got thm back! mw~

I kinda/sorta agree, but first one must go to the application. If ya want what is admittedly a superbly finished model and it just has to be wrapped in plastic, get these books and practice. A lot. And then keep the model(s) sealed and away from flying fields or even transport to these fields.

Ah, but if you want to actually handle your models, put them to the uses for which they are designed, at least take a glance at "Tom's Techniques" from Harry Higley. And then roam around the RC sites. There are some amazing techniques out there, few of which one is likely to encounter on any CL website.
