lines on a sailboat that pull the sails from side to side are called sheets (the ones that pull them up & down are halyards), and this is the cascade of the main sheet, extending from the traveler to the back end of the boom...
My newest vintage sheet and I LOVE the pattern!!! I want to make so many things with this but then again, I don't want to cut into it:)

The kit and its assembly:
The “Swedish Season” continues! The Saab 23 is another “phantom of the past”, a real world design that never left the drawing board. The J 23 actually started as an alternative to the J 21, but was discarded in late 1941 in favor of the more promising, yet bigger and heavier, pusher design. But that would not stop modelers from trying to build one, even though I have never seen a model of this aircraft? Having recently tried to build a Saab 27 fighter caught me in the right mood for another whiffy Swedish design, so I took a chance on the J 23, too.
At first glance you can mistake the J 23 for a P-51B with an engine from a late Bf 109, some sources describe it as “a Swedish Messerschmitt”. But that’s only superficial, much like the later Griffon-powered J 27 project which can be described as a “Super Spitfire”, but this does not do justice to the aircraft’s construction.
Both were independent developments, even though the P-51 (some early specimen were forced to land in Sweden and closely examined) certainly had a massive impact on both designs.
Anyway, the information basis surrounding the J 23 is worse than the J 27’s, and I only had rather vague profile drawings/sketches at hand for reference. A basis model was also hard to find: the rear section from a P-51B (in this case an Intech kit from Poland) was settled, since the Mustang’s cockpit shape, dorsal section and fin come really close to the J 23. But you cannot simply mate a P-51 with a Bf 109 nose, it would result in a rather wacky Mustang-thing because the proportions are not right.
Finding a good solution was not easy, and I was lucky to find a Hasegawa Ki-61 in the stash – it has a German engine (an earlier DB 601, though) and an overall layout similar to the P-51B. But the Ki-61 is considerably larger than a Bf 109, more in the P-51’s size class. Despite many detail modifications I decided to mate these unlikely aircraft for the J 23s basis – engraved panel lines on both kits made the combination less obvious, too.
The InTech P-51B gave its tail and the cockpit section (excluding the radiator tunnel and the wing roots), cut away from the rest of the Mustang fuselage with a Z-shaped cut. With a matching cut on the Ki-61’s fuselage, the engine and the whole wing/fuselage intersection were used. Styrene strips held the fuselage sections in place, on the outside the seams were later blended with nitrous compound putty. One benefit of this solution is that the OOB P-51 canopy could be used (even though the rear end fit necessitated some body work), and the resulting cockpit position was just as far forward as on the J 23, right above the wings. As a consequence the rear fuselage behind the cockpit appears to be rather long, but that is AFAIK correct, the J 23 had these slightly odd proportions!
For the J 23’s DB 605 engine a different, bigger spinner had to be mounted – scratched from a massive PZL 23 spinner and single blades (from the Hasegawa Ki-61), together with a metal axis and a styrene tube adapter inside of the nose. Some putty work was necessary to fair over the Ki-61 guns on the cowling, the typical DB 601 front bulge and blend the bigger, new spinner to the rest of the fuselage, but the result looks O.K.
The Ki-61’s original wings and landing gear could, thanks to the original fuselage section from the Hasegawa kit, be carried over and easily mounted, even though the wing tips were clipped for a square, Mustang-esque shape (the J 23’s look in all illustrations I’ve seen like upscaled Bf 109E wings).
The InTech P-51’s horizontal stabilizers were used, but for a J 23 they had to be placed in a different position: further back (so that wedges for the vertical rudder had to be cut out) and considerably lower, necessitating some (more) body work to hide the original attachment points. The new position adds to the impression of an extended fuselage section behind the cockpit, even though the P-51 donor fuselage section is only a little longer than the Ki-61’s. All tail surface outlines were slightly modified, too.
The J 23’s typical, shallow radiator tunnel had to be scratched, the semi-buried construction sits far behind the wings’ training edge. In an initial step, the removed Ki-61 radiator’s gap as well as the P-51 tail wheel well were faired over with styrene sheet and new intake/outlet ramps integrated into the lower rear fuselage. The tunnel itself is the narrow, aerodynamic fairing of a Boulton Paul Defiant’s machine guns behind the turret (raised when not in use), left over from a Pavla kit, opened at both ends.
As a consequence of the new and long radiator tunnel, the P-51 tail wheel well was moved about 5mm further back and the fuselage profile under the tail fin re-shaped.
One of the final steps was the cockpit interior, because I was not sure concerning the relative position of the P-51’s canopy (cut into three pieces for open display) and dashboard and the Ki-61’s cockpit floor panel and seat. But both turned out to match relatively well, and I added a tank and radio dummy behind the seat in order to prevent a clear view into the rear fuselage.
The landing gear was taken OOB from the Ki-61 – it looks similar to the real J 23 arrangement, so I stuck with it. The tail wheel comes from the InTech P-51, just the covers were scratched for the re-located well.
All gun barrels on spinner and wings are hollow steel needles, no ordnance was hung under the wings, even though the Ki-61 hardpoints were retained. After all, it’s a fighter aircraft.
Made from a thrifted sheet and some free bias tape!! A simple A line with elastic waistband. AND...is it really lazy to just use the already finished edge of the sheet as the bottom of your skirt? Well, I would be lazy then!! I made up for it though by putting the bias tape on RIGHT?!

Day 7 / 365
At PCOC 2009, Boaz Shuval remarked that he knew of cubes made from one, two, three, four, and six sheets, but had never seen one from five sheets. He then challenged me to see if I could design a cube assembled from five identical units.
More than a year later, I think I've got an answer. Now, technically this is cheating, because the units aren't used equally-- but all five units *are* necessary for the stability of the cube; none are redundant, and none have extra creases.
The assembly is shown below. If the white bottom piece weren't there, the other four pieces could revert to the windmill shape, which is unstable.

These Authentic Sheets are not available anywhere in the world. Not even the United States Playing Card Company can sell them.
I finally cut into my stash of sheets that I've been hoarding/collecting for the past year. It's 79x79. I wish my photography did this quilt justice.
OLLIE JOHNSTON
Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life (1981)
two (2) original illustration drawings for book
blue and black pencil on two (2) untrimmed 12.5" x 15.5" animation sheets, image sizes: 4.25" x 3.25" and 4.25" x 2.5"
The two (2) original animation-style drawings of Pinocchio were created by Disney animator Ollie Johnston in development of the illustration for the dust jacket of the important book he co-wrote with Frank Thomas: Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life. The book jacket features eight (8) images of Pinocchio; from a silhouette in the distance the little woodenhead makes the transition to animation drawing and finally painted cel as he jauntily skips along the cobblestone streets of Geppetto's village. The artist numbered each drawing with the number "4" written at lower right; neither of these poses were included in the final illustration. Mr. Johnston supervised the animation of Pinocchio in a number of important scenes for the making of Walt Disney's classic 1940 feature film.
Ollie Johnston (Oliver M. Johnston, Jr.) was born October 31, 1912 in Palo Alto, California, and his higher education came at Stanford University and Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. On January 21, 1935 he joined The Walt Disney Studios as an apprentice animator on Disney short cartoons of the period. He went on to work as animator and directing animator on more than 24 feature films including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Song of the South, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, The Jungle Book and others. Walt Disney included him among his famous “Nine Old Men,” those animators who formed the core of his animation team.
Mr. Johnston's enthusiasm for trains led him to build a backyard railroad at his home in La Cañada, California and a full-scale railroad on the property he shared with fellow animator and best friend Frank Thomas in Julian, California. He helped to encourage and develop Walt Disney’s own passion for trains. After 43 years with the Disney Studio he retired in 1978. Between 1981 and 1993 he co-authored four excellent books with Frank Thomas beginning with the authoritative Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life followed by Too Funny for Words, Walt Disney’s Bambi: The Story and the Film, and The Disney Villain. He was named a Disney Legend in 1989 and was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2005. He passed away in April, 2008.
These two (2) original works are from Ollie Johnston's estate. They were in his home until early 2007 when he moved to Washington state near his family. "From the estate of Oliver M. Johnston, Jr." is stamped on the back of each. Our certificate of authenticity is included.
