Day two – building the Osbourne Platter
Following on from yesterday the glue dried overnight.
The edges of the platter and leading edge of the fin I squashed with a knife handle and filled with glue. The paper went a bit rippled, so maybe next time I won’t bother.
Just fixed on the fin and started the elevator. Slightly different to the original plans I used a couple of small plastic hinges, cut a slot in the foam and glued them in place with wood glue and a retaining cocktail stick.
The elevator edge which joins to the body I added a 45o chamfer top and bottom to prevent fouling.
Yes I did wipe the excess glue off
