For the past 5 years I have been trying to build a replica of Dash for Dot, the A-20G Havoc in which a friend's father served as upper turret gunner. I am finally gaining traction on the build after many false starts, falling down numerous rabbit holes as well as investigations of new technologies like 3D CAD modeling software and both FDM and resin-based 3D printers (see separate pages at right on the build itself, references used, photos & line drawings and new technology explored).

Long time coming...
Wow! Last entry more than 8 years ago! I retired from my third career 5 1/2 years ago to spend more time with my grandkids and my hobbies: scale modeling, fishing and computer games and 3D printing. I also committed to building a model for a friend, a replica of the plane his father served as top turret gunner. That was 5.5 years ago.... I have actually started that build at least six (6) times over the years, always balking at the amount of detail to add. And I got side tracked with other projects-- a big one is fishing for sturgeon, salmon and steelhead here in Washington state, from a kayak! I am hoping to jump start the modeling and related projects this month.
