[WWI] (no subject)

[Joey Valenciano]

I now have a little time to sit and write something related to the Eduard
Floh project I restarted two weeks ago.

 

The project has be going very slowly but very smoothly.

I do, however need some advice and hopefully you could help.

 

1) Since the Floh had an inline engine, I was wondering where they'd put the
radiator, which is absent in the Eduard kit. I saw from the Windsock Mini
Datafile that it was located in the upper port wing. Do any of you have any
suggestions on how to go about scratchbuilding a wing radiator? How would
you go about making one up?

 

2) Jim (Landon), when you suggested I take photos of the build's progress, I
suddenly realized that my brother had sent me a Nikon Coolpix 8700. I'm not
into cameras. I just use it in "point and shoot" mode, if ever I do use it.
But pictures are usually better than words, so I think I'd better put the
camera to good use. Does anyone have tips on how to use my camera to best
take close-up shots? What settings, what kind of a background? Do I need a
tripod? Any tips on working without a tripod?

 

The build is a lot of fun and I'm learning/discovering a lot of ways to
solve alignment issues that many of you might find interesting or better
yet, could improve on.
