Title: 1/72nd Short 184 by Wayne McCullough
Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on February 08, 2017, 03:52:26 PM: All,

One more. This is one of my favorites and will look great in the display case. It's another free download by the same designer. So far, it's the hardest one to put together (fuselage...long with multiple parts...I've got a twist in mine) but still elegant. It's even got a piano wire reinforced paper spar in the lower wing. AND...it's not pink!

Here is the state of affairs:

I'm trying to hide the twist and so far if you look at it just right, it's ok. I'll make another knowing how to make it better next time. This one should keep me busy with rigging for at least two nights! :o

Thanks for looking...Dan

Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on February 09, 2017, 03:32:55 PM: Thanks so much, you guys. This one is harder but just as fun as the last ones. Rigging will be interesting too!

I put the wings together and added the top with cabanes and interplanes. Looking straight and it is amazingly strong!

More tomorrow starting with the floats...

Thanks for looking,

After putting them on backwards (do'h!)...the floats are all fixed now and, again, surprisingly robust. I do think even elastic rigging will help a bit in this case.

I'll start rigging tomorrow!

Here it is with guns, prop, tip floats and wing rigging. Much more stringing to go!

I have to agree with Des! Simply Amazing. Like I said before I have enough trouble gluing molded plastic parts together, let alone folding and assembling card stock onto something like this!
