1/32 WNW Sopwith Triplane "Black Maria"
« on: October 26, 2013, 08:04:39 PM »
My latest project of a 1/32 WNW Sopwith Triplane in the markings of Lt. Raymond Collishaw, the Canadian ace.  Please follow the link below for full images of my Triplane.

There's some lovely looking work in your photo gallery Esteban, not least the Triplanes and the SE5a. In the notes on the latter, I notice that you've used hair for the rigging. Have you done the same with the Tripehound?

Great models, Esteban.  I plan on building the Black Maria Tripe in the future
and hope it turns out as nice as yours is. :)

  I'm about 98% sure that the WNW Tripe in the same markings as yours is next in line for me. This will give me something to aspire to, they are all very nice in fact! Beautiful Gallery!

Nice looking Tripe.  It is on my to do list this winter and seeing yours in Collishaws markings just makes it that much more tempting.  The others are nice as well.  Thanks for sharing the gallery.
Hair for rigging?

I used hair for the SE5 but on the Tripe I used EZ Line.  Highly recommend EZ Line, its stretchable, easy to attach and glue.

Great Sopwith Triplane, Estaban -

As others have also said, a lovely gallery of your other builds.

Thanks Red Leader.

I too use EZ line and find it quite forgiving of my clumsiness. The only qualm I have is that sometimes it seems to vary in thickness (of course at very tiny levels) even as I unwind it from the spool.
