In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

thanks guys. I have never made anything like this before and it's a nice change from my usual subject choices
quick update - it has legs! I'll try to take some better shots on Wednesday when I have my RDO.





I still need to add some rigging to the legs once they're fully cured and then I can add the finished wings and add rigging to them as well - which ought to be fun as I have never rigged anything before!
Thanks for looking

Great stuff.  :thumbsup:

Be sure to share the finished model with Michael Fichtenmayer, he loves to see what people have
done with his kits.

Thanks guys :) I will register on Michaels website and post some images there once it's done :)

I had today off, so while the sun is out (well, sought of - it  keeps disappearing behind the clouds and reappearing for a brief minute), I took a few quick snaps which are better than the ones I took on Sunday night

The head is attached and is secured in place with a piece of brass rod. The wings are done and ready to go on - I just need to get the leg rigging on first. I have lost a piece of PE which was a guide for the topside rigging. I will have to make do without it















I still have a few things to tidy up as you can see but these items won't take too long. I am going to try get some rigging done this afternoon

As always, thanks for looking

Work continues now with the base under way and not far from completion.
Just needs some paint and somewhere to house a battery, plus a little ground work before it's done. I haven't added the wings yet and they will be the last thing to go on











As always, thanks for looking

That's going to be a brilliant display, when it's done! :thumbsup:

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
