QuoteYoung man, do you have any idea just how much your finishing has improved over the past few months?

Wow.  I'm very impressed.  And how you can do rigging without pulling your hair out is beyond me, too.  In 1:72 scale yet!

Inspiring!   ;)
Thank you Mr Howling Mouse! It's good to see you back among us!

Rigging is the most challenging part of building biplanes but I've discovered an easy method...steel guitar strings and white glue! I use the high strings and simply cut them to size with nippers and attach them with Elmer's™ glue! It's by far the easiest way to rig biplanes I've found yet!

I noticed that lovely Willow kit you sent me ages ago comes with steel wire for rigging. I was thrilled to discover that! Thanks, Baz!

P.S. The sheet styrene you sent me has been a godsend!

Biplanes are an acquired skill and you've got it down! I like this one. It's got a certain "beefy" look to it.  B)
