Hey everyone, i have just recently built a depron Geebee for my girlfriend from a 3 view and am looking for some feedback about the build. This is only my second build with depron. it has a 6mm skeleton and 3mm sheeting.

Overall dimensions are

length 31 "
wingspan 33"
weight with battery 23 oz.

I am also open to suggestions as to how to make future builds seemless...(no seems).



looking for all opinions regardless whether it is good or bad

Re: Looking for Feedback

The plane looks great, just not too fussy about the top colour though, it looks too pink for my tastes.

On the subject of seams, most aircraft are built from separate pieces and have panel lines or "seams" One could cut the depron in the same fashion as that of the full scale plane on is modeling, keeping in mind you'll probably have even more seams and all the glue used to hold them together adds weight.

Keep building on planes, your effort looks good!

Item is sold Re: Looking for Feedback

It's simply gorgeous!! I'm SOLD. Amazing job I'm fond of the hot magenta pink contrasting with the black. The diamond studded skulls give it a bad-ass look hands down! That Lil' Chub just glimmers when she flies! Sparkles on a prop?? Who knew hairspray was so functional?!! LOL Great build from scratch, tons of work went into this, both thru build and aesthetics.


Only suggestion? Ummm, next time make it even FATTER!! lol Oh and POST MORE PIX Thanks for building me my very own.

PS: You could put this into the forum: Construction Ideas, Hints and Tips too!
