Just found this Gary - I had not seen it pop up!

Simply marvellous painting and details. Like you I am at the age when time matters and details which cannot be seen on a finished model do not!

Keep up the good work.

Stephen.

Ah thanks Stephen & Alexis,

And thanks Fredrik, masks performed beautifully

Just started to rig the tail feathers before the main wings go on...

This is a wonderful build and I really love the shade of PC-12 you chose.

Thank you again

But... unfortunately I’ve had the usual disaster - attaching the wings - despite drilled holes and pins which were all test fitted I somehow managed to muck it up

broke a strut, cursed a lot then the whole thing collapsed! Walked away, but when I came back to fix it the same thing happened “@#£&”

I do seem cursed lately, I just can’t seem to either finish a kit or finish it to my satisfaction. At this rate my cabinet is going to take a very long time to fill up!

I really want it filled with WW1 models, but I’m struggling at the moment. Not sure where to go next. I’m tempted to get another Tamiya ‘shake n’ bake’ to to get something finished. Or my Eduard Albatros - if that ends up in flames then I really will be at a loss!

Disappointed Guy

I know that feeling all to well Guy and you aren't alone in that either . Put it back in the box for now and focus on something else . It's what I'm doing for awhile , focusing on some WW 2 subjects .

Bring it back out later when that mojo returns to finally finish it .

I too know the feeling Guy! Your triplane is looking gorgeous. Set it aside and start another project. It is what I have done all too frequently lately

When you are ready I look forward to seeing this one finished!

I second Terry and Rick: very well known occurrence and feeling for me too and the same suggestion of a brief pause.
Best wishes.
