May be not enough raw material? I mean 3 SPADs needs a lot of ropes, sleeves, turnbuckles?, drill bits, ....

If you really want, you will find something.

Cheers,
Frank

Beautiful work Rick, they're all looking superb.

Those look just beautiful, Rick! Can't wait to see them all rigged. As I just finished quick-rigging (cheating) on my SPAD, I know how much fun you will be having X3!!!!

As usual I found another reason to post an update

I have added the aileron control rods to all three SPADS but I also came up with an idea for the Luke SPAD. I had a Pegaso Luke Figure and a Copper State French Pilot checking his revolver. Knowing that Luke liked to visit the "Storks" I decided to do a little combination of the figures on a base for Lukes bird. A friendly shooting competition!

PS: Now I really am almost out of ideas to put off rigging

What a great idea! That sets your Luke Spad in a class by itself.

It really does bring life to the scene.

Thanks SP! I had originally intended to use the Aviattic Luke figure along with some Aviattic mechanics. After consideration I thought that it was too Much like Mike Norris's Luke build. The idea for using the combination of the Pegaso Luke which was intended to represent the Mythical "Last Stand" in a different way just kind of flowed into My warped Mind
