First of all, thank you to Frank for his talk on silver soldering last week. It's always nice to see someone else make things look easy.

And now an image to show just what is possible...another of Vincents models. This one is a scale model where the original was built using steel tubes. So how do you go about recreating it at model scales. Most of us would make a balsa and ply frame and then use dowels to mimic the steel tubes...not Vincent!

If you want to see the complete build, here's a link to the fifth page of many. And like all of his models, it does fly.
