Lookin  good Chris!

So lets hear more about building on glass. How do you hold  the parts in
position?

Hi there,
 
the model is actually glued to the building board using thin super glue.  
Here is a picture of my B-17 C project where you can see that the fuselage  
formers are glued to the board using 1/4" balsa uprights

It's alright using parts you don't need to keep when glueing a model to  the 
glass plate (like the B-17's uprights) which you can just break  away when 
you're done, but on the Pup I did put cling wrap on the  glass before I did the 
fuselage sides otherwise it would be impossible  to get them off again without 
breaking them. However, the glass plate can  easily be cleaned using a single 
sided razor blade.
 
The wingspars are also mounted on uprights (scaffolds, jigs? I can never  
find the right word for these parts) as you can see on this picture

I do my WW-1 wings the same way as they are slightly undercambered on  my 
WW-1 designs.
 
This is what our Pup looks like now
