Fantastic, love the lap belts. Thanks for sharing your technique, I'll give that a try soon. Will have a good read through the whole thread later and see what other gems I can pick up.

Thanks for the detailed photos of your seatbelt process. Wrapping the wire around the square styrene strip will certainly make My life easier in the future.

Rigging! I like rigging:

A single bay wing warping biplane must be about the easiest to do, although I did have to do the pair on the front cabane struts as I had pulled them out of square

I have a few lines still to do

She looks super with the top wing finally in place ! You are getting close on wrapping this one up Richard and I look forward to rest of the rigging

Alexis , enjoying a banana split

I'm a bit in awe of this Richard, not only are the wings beautifully made, you've even put them on started rigging. My mind is doing a tail spin it may not recover from! Joking aside, seriously impressive stuff Richard, I'm going to have a good read through the whole thread later and take some notes. Hugely impressive.

Alexis - 'I'm pretty sure I would look faaaaar better in it then Ken

'

No doubt.

Richard - After careful consideration, I have decided to pass on your exciting opportunity, but hope you will consider me for future opportunities.

That's as politically correct as I can be.

This project is really coming together nicely, Richard.

Well, at least it wasn't a reply ending in off!

Thank you. And I've said this before, scratchbuilding is relatively quick.

The chassis is attached:

And for the benefit of RichieW, to be honest, things are far from right in this area. Somehow, things have got rather out of square. I'll do better next time (perhaps)

Really nice job on that rigging Richard ! She is going to look super once the engine is installed

Many thanks Richard, that's a valuable lesson. Even if it is a little out of square it looks beautiful. I had a careful read through the whole thread yesterday, very inspiring stuff. Very much enjoying the build.

This is looking superb, Richard! Some great and inspirational work! ( I can't see any out of square faults, btw....) Regards, Marc.
