It's all good, we have a desk coming and have made space elsewhere for it. I think I shall have plenty of time for model making over the coming weeks. Nice way to weather the storm I think!

Sounds Great Richie! I used the Mask made for Me by Bob of Bobs Buckles. He actually Hand Drew the S in order to create the mask. I am pleased with the results although it may be a tad forward of where it should be. Oh well not going to change it now. Not that far off! By the way the rudder and Fin colors have been affected by My editing for more light. The colors are actually very close to those of the roundel!

That really looks excellent Rick, I might have to commission a few masks myself for my planned Sopwith Tripe build.

I had a little inspection of my Camel today and joined the club btw!

"Three struts on my Camel but I'm still flying along" 😂

Thanks Richie. I am sorry to hear you joined our Elite Club

One broken was fairly easy to deal with. Try Very hard not to make it 2! If so you will need someone like Lance to help you sort it out

Thanks Terri. If you have a Camel in the Stash go ahead and start it. You will probably catch up at the rate you build

This looks really good, Rick. Subtle and realistic weathering and wood grain.
Looking for that rudder now.

Thanks Ken. I will probably do the touch up on the fin and rudder today then glue it in place. I left it off until masking and painting was done on the fuselage.

Love it Rick, really looking fantastic. So happy to have been tagging along to see this coming together. I'm going to have my bench back from tomorrow and plenty time on my hands for several months.

Thanks for hanging in there on My build. Looking forward to your continuation of yours! Touched up the rudder and fin and attached.

That is looking very very good Rick. One could never tell that you had problems with thise struts.

Terri: you need to break at least two to be in the same league as Lance!!

Thanks Stephen! Rigging will start tomorrow. My biggest fear now is rigging that tear drop thingy in the front of the Cabanes

Lauf out loud !

You guys are fantastic

I can actually picture Lance jumping around - arms waving in the air ...King of the struts !

Rick , I do have a few Camels in the stash . Two Eduard kits and WNW . After the HB is finished a camel is next , but I won't have it finished before you are done with your excellent build . The teardrop does posse a challenge . Can two small holes be drilled all the through in a X pattern ? Or cut just the front off , glue lines in place , glue the front back on ? Looking forward to seeing how you tackle this .

Terri
