Avenger TBM

[munzieb]

Watching Bush 41's funeral inspired me to design and cut his Grumman Avenger TBM.  Lots of very fine lines and rather than trying to recreate the prop blades, I had to make a ellipse sweep of the blade arc. The canopy was tough with all the intersecting frames. I did have to deviate from my original pattern in some areas to create more bridges. Lots of blue tape to hold it all together. 1/8" BBPW on 1/4" backer. Shellac/lacquer finish.

Time to put the airplanes in the hangar for a while.

Love it! Nice work!

That looks great and lots of very find scrolling.  Awesome job.  I think before you close the Hanger doors you should do a Stearman.  What most to war bird pilots trained in.  I have a pattern for one that Heppnerguy (Dick) made for me.  I'm going to cut it and send it to the guy that took me for a hop in his this past summer.

You mean you'll hand deliver it for a chance to be in the cockpit again under power, Captain Paul

I'd need laser guided hands to get arrow straight cuts like you did here. Mighty fine scrolling!!!

A very nice pattern and great cutting. I love the old War Birds.
