Walt,
Thats neat! Is it solid carved balsa wood or? What did you seal the wood with to paint it? I like the long sleek look of it Is the trailer balsa as well?
Thanks for showing us this
George

George Yes it's all balsa wood and how I seal all my wood is I make my own sanding sealer out of elmers glue and water, it's a 50/50 mixture ...this is how I make my papertowel headliners  |

You`ll have to tell us how to do your paper towel headliner Seems like a nioe addition to the inside of a injection pin marked roof
Thanks!

Cool little boat there. I like the scratch building you did there. also, I hope you would share a how to on the headliner. that has to be a neat little trick. I never thought of that.

well get a paper towel (NO FLOWERS)and some white glue and make a mixture of 50/50 of water and white glue then lay the paper towel in the car and brush on the glue making sure that it forms to the whole roof and let dry Now that it's dry peel it out of the car ...careful not to rip it them trim and paint and glue in wala.......Headliner....coooool HUH ! After you have it trimmed to fit all you have to do is paint it |
