Popular Post munzieb Posted September 26, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 I've always had a thing for these old Grumman aircraft. The F3F was the last Bi-Plane fighter the Navy used for carrier service. I spent many hours cleaning up pixels to make this ready for cutting. Lots of thin lines (ref. Scoreing thread) and cutting was a little challenge. I cut a matching 1/4" backing and paint it black acrylic. I was going to contact spray the "back" of the cutting but the phone rang and I picked it up (scam Call!) I got back to my project and starting spraying and quickly realized I WAS SPRAYING THE FRONT!!!. I could have gotton away with it but for the TEXT.... I have a 5 gallon can of "OFF". Now I have a 4 gallon can of "OFF" Found a shallow baking pan and proceeded to use up a bunch of papertowels to clean it up. I did a whole lot of scraping in the cuttings to clean out the glue and sanding to get it back to where I should have been 2 hours earlier.... Finally got it done.

heppnerguy Posted September 28, 2018 Report Share Posted September 28, 2018 What a terrific piece. I love those old planes. we have a small air field about 2 miles from our house and they have a fly-in there every winter. I missed the last one. I am really hoping that we will be home for the next one, as I am in hopes that someone will be selling rides in an open cockpit bi-plane. I would really love to cross that one off my bucket list. Your project is really cool. Is there any chance that you are going to post your pattern for this one? I bet a lot of people will be interested in cutting for their walls. It is a beauty Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
