Some of the detail shots are spectacular, Prze. More exquisite work and I’m excited to see the end result.

This looks like a rigging nightmare, and I admire your patience and craftmanship.

Well done!

Thank you, everyone.

My Caudron became a biplane. And rigging has begun!

Certainly. But this is my favourite part. ;)

Lovely work, Prze!

Happy Rigging!!

Cheers,
Bob  ;)

Thanks!  ;)

And indeed, some progress. And I could not resist the temptation to dryfit the trusses.

This is a truly inspirational build. I will have to try this one myself.
One question: what am I seeing when I see wood on the underside of the wing ribs. Does the fabric not cover at this point?

That looks like another great piece of modeling!

Your work is simply stunning as always Prze!

Quick question (apologies if I missed it) - what colour did you use for the blue metal components? It looks great!

Cheers,

Thank you, everyone for your cheering. It is great to know you believe in me  ;)

One question: what am I seeing when I see wood on the underside of the wing ribs. Does the fabric not cover at this point?

It is my, maybe naive, thinking, that the wooden ribs will slightly see through the linen.

Quick question (apologies if I missed it) - what colour did you use for the blue metal components? It looks great!

It is a custom mix of Vallejo Azul Mate 70962 and Gris Claro 71.050. Roughly 50/50...


Today work on the rigging was not a breeze. The intricacy of the structure led to some lines loosening after others were tightened. They had to be cut off and replaced, this leading at some spots to damage to the eyelets and torn off turnbuckles. But I managed to complete the wings cellule and I even gathered my courage to attach the tail trusses. More hopefully tomorrow. (It is great to have holidays, already)
