Title: WNW DH2.
Post by: Graham t on March 30, 2014, 08:30:35 PM: All finished (apart from the canbane rigging (I really didn't have the heart - maybe later). Believe it or not I did carry out a bit of lght preshading on the flying surfaces. I have to say that rigging aside, it's probably the easiest WNW model I've built!

Your DH really came out terrific! I like your PC 10 shade, what did you use?
The rigging is great and the boom looks perfect! As for those cabanes a little stretched sprue would work and not require drilling or any surgery.

Cheers,

Bob

I completely agree especially about using sprue. I used to use it for my models in God's Own Scale but have stopped because I needed so much that using wire was easier. With the cabanas rigged it would doubtless be a winner.

Post by: Epeeman on March 31, 2014, 06:23:15 AM: Hello, Graham,

Cabane rigging aside, your model has come out looking really well and I am pleased that you managed to overcome the problem with the tail booms.

Regards

Dave
