I Model cljbsvh&va grown up all over the co'jii try and each year it seems more and more people are getting Into this fascin ating hobby. : I have, found model building the ideal answer to ! help those who may be disabled or shut in. Each month, every news-stand carries a wide Variety of magazines and publications on model building a lone. j ;,. ! . The accepted way followed by all builders in starting their pro jects is to have set of plans and instructions and follow them as closely as possible. Model makers .own craft, but even they follow a set oi plans ana use sunaara construction prlnolples Unless you have already collect ed your own tools and equipmeut, I'd like to offer a few Items have been helful to me in my building. Adapting what you have already on hand is of course to be con sidered when you plan to build. ' Trimming- Kalf j One of the items most used will be some sort of Uimming knife. Several manufacturers offer com plete with- handles made to hold every type of blade or bits oi old razor blades. Items you may al ready have around the home work shop such as small nosed pliers, clamps (clothespins may be adapt ed for many uses here), small Jiand drill or if you desire, a most welc come addition to the modeler's tool kit ds ah electric type of roto-tooi These use every ' lmagineable ,i imiii j..

Yoq will also want some sort of block sender, a good straight edge for a trimming guide and possibly a scroll saw. 1 have a small eelctric jig i saw which serves neatly for all sawing work. Most of my work is done while I am sitting in my adjustable bed, soi my work-table problems are different than most builders' have. I use a large flat board, to lay my plans on and various adjustable bed tables for working purposes. SeDDlies Needed 1 For supplies', there are a. num ber of things you should keen on hand.' YouTl probably have to get from your model dealer some cement, clear or colored dope, some good camel hair brushes, lacquer releasing brushes and perhaps. some assorted sheets and blocks of balsa wood. Usually, however, as far as actual construction materials are concerned, these will come with model kits or at least will be determlnted br Instructions furnished with the design of plane you will build. eGnerally specking, there are a few basic steps that fit most Jobs. One of the first things is to lay out all your plans and become fam iliar with the thing. Most likely. you will construct i your planet parts directly over the plana. In doing this, use wax paper over the plaas or rub a cake of soap over them. This will prevent glue from sticking to your plan sheets. Don't be scotch with glue, but also don t make big blobs on Joints. Always re-cap glue tube so it won't dry out : I . .; When making: model' with built-up wings, put wing leading ' a 7 t I J-lSWar ITauMsf introdnced the first r years ago-they broagltt to the sutomoUle iadns try a new idea. It ia the idea of ear design that begins with safety, then hailds beaaty. comfort, performance! Youean't possibly appreciate the difference aaul yoa drive this ear. Find oat hew sseh snore confident yon feel in this Chrysler with its mighty High to o 435 N. Commercial St. s wings failed to support him. and trailing edges over plans. Re members, pins are stuck beside, not through the wood. The wing tips and ribs , are then added. Coat surfaces very lightly with coment and allow to dry. Then' join, as shown in plans, using just enough cement to properly stick the joint. In working directly over plans in this way, you are more likely to make less mistakes and end up with a much better job. Sides Must Be Alike When constructing a cabin type fuselage, work over plans and con struct the second side over the first so that they will be exactly alike. Again, use wax paper strips between to prevent messing up the Job with cement. When putting crosspieces or bulkheads between two sides, be very careful to keep the whole set up in alignment Misaliarnment in any phase oi model building shows up horribly when the plane, eventually takes to the air. A few moments patient ly In assembling will mean smiles when flight tun arrives. OregonCodi Reyiser Here R.
