Neeeeoooowww!

Ok, that was my impression of a plane by the way not a cat!
Well, I've made a start on my model plane. So far, I'm really enjoying it. The stage that I'm at in the picture took quite a while to do but I didn't realise it at the time. It's definitely one of those things where you have a different perception of the time. Time just flies by when your having fun... or when your deeply engrossed in something!
Out of all the construction models I've worked on, working with wood is my favourite material. For some reason it just feels more technical and certainly more natural.
It wasn't as tricky as I thought it was going to be but some bits were quite tricky as the wood didn't want to comply with what I wanted it to do. Naughty wood!
I'm planning to do a lot more later in the day so I'll put up another post with my progress on that before the day is out!
