Dr. Zooch Flame Fins Part 1

I don't try to cut all the sharp edges of the flame fin pattern.

I use a straightedge and cut straight lines just at the points of the outside edges.
I don't usually use a pen to trace around a fin pattern. Ink can show or "bleed" through a final paint color.
I used a pen to illustrate how I cut out the fins.



There are six fins in total.
Two at a time are pinned together for shaping. Before pinning, I square up the root edges. The front and rear of the fins should be "close" to flush.








The wider concave "dips" were sanded with the rounded side of my wooden sanding block.
