From the looks of things the next update should be of the completed Model

Close Rick, but there's about a dozen little bits to be stuck on after the rigging; I thought I'd try to only do them once! $:-\$

Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Steve, it is bloody enormous in my experience! I had to rush out to the local "Wally Mart" yesterday to get a big plastic tote to cart it off to the show in Edmonton this weekend, my standard one I usually use doesn't even come close and I'm still trying to figure out where it can be displayed here as both my cabinets are too small! SWMBO has registered a firm veto on moving to a bigger place ........

Cheers,
Lance

Wow, Lance! Not sure I wanna put a biplane upside down.

Breathtaking work Lance! A really spectacular model which looks like a real competition winner. You are a brave man to flip a big biplane upside down on the work stand. I would be too nervous to do that but it looks terrific. Make sure you send photos of the finished model to Wingnuts for their customer models pages. Outstanding work!

The "Magic Third Hand" in action Gaz, one of my favorite tools and a great help with the rigging process. I must admit this model is about as large as you'd want to be twisting around like this ...........

Dave,
Many Thanks for your very supportive comments! (I was typing over your post when it arrived) I'm off to the annual Regional Contest in about 6 hours, a three hour drive so it will be a long couple of days. I've still to pack the AEG and a Camel for the journey, always a tense time until the models are back home safely!
Cheers,
Lance

Catching up again Lance and from your last post you will only see this when you return with your award for the best in show for the AEG! That is a superb model in every way - and an equally superb build log.

Stephen.

Lance, Mate... I hafta know: What cement or glue did you use to attach the struts? And did you pin them?

Thank you,

Gaz

Good luck Lance!

Others might know but what is "the third hand"?

Cheers,

What a fantastic build over all, Lance. I am deeply impressed by the way you managed to glue in all the struts and by your choice of colors and shades.
