Popular Post BadBob Posted January 14, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 A few months ago, my grandson asked questions about the 30x173mm round from a GAU-8 I have sitting on my desk. We watched several videos of the A-10 firing at ground targets. Since then, he asked every time he was here: When will you make one for me? So I did. Burrrrt! My 30x173mm practice round. Disarmed of course. Dan, Woodrush, Jim Blume and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way you used different types of wood and shaping, Thanks for showing, Bob I like to use contrasting wood when I can. The nacelles and fuselage are poplar, believe it or not. The dark wood on the horizontal stabilizer is walnut. The wings and vertical stabilizers are ipe. The wheels are birch. I have a friend that sends me dark wood cutoffs from his larger projects that he can't use. danny and bobscroll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
