Great progress, the interior parts look wonderful!

Found some 20 old paper prints from the Berlin museum, if you want them send me a message with your e-mail address and you will get a link from wetransfer.com.

To me, this is still one of the most beautiful aircraft of the period.

Those parts look top notch!

That’s not a mortal’s work. You need to be some sort of an alien nature to be able to produce such perfect parts in 1:144 scale.

Lol, it's just unbelievably thick glasses 

Here is my micro-challenge of the week:

I can just imagine showing the completed build to a bunch of muggles one day, and hearing them say: "Ooh... there's a little steering wheel in there!" So I knew I would have to try and make a proper job of it. 

After some deliberation; a notch was filed into two overly-long pieces of 0.2mm Albion Alloys wire and the pair were soldered together to form a secure lap joint. The X-shape was trimmed to size and sanded flat on one side, then a circle of 0.25mm stretched sprue was steamed around a drill bit and fixed in place with tiny dabs of epoxy resin. I still need to add the pulley wheels and central boss to it, but so far it's working out pretty well.

I just need to remember where I put it.

I scratchbuilt a spark advance lever for a 1/32 Pfalz yesterday and needed a lie down after that. I can't imagine how you can make such beautiful parts in such a small scale!

I just need to remember where I put it. 

Oh dear, we've all been there......

My specialty is reaching across the desk and getting things attached to my shirt sleeves. Lord knows where they go from there! 
Got the control wheel sorted out thankfully. I’ve put it in a tin for now so I can loose it later.

[NigelR]

Looks lovely!

I put all my small pieces in a plastic tub on my desk. That way when I knock the tub over I can lose everything all at once rather than piece by piece...... (don't ask me how I know..... )

Pure artistry!!!

Ik keep my tiny bits in small plastic containers with a screwcap, even the discarded ones.

As always with you, William - disbelief is suspended!

My ex-wife used to talk about my tiny bits but I think she had a different meaning - and agenda!
