G'day.
I feel a little hesitant posting my (almost-see below) completed N.28 here. Rick, Ian and Mark have done beautiful models. And I'm always gobsmacked at how well Ian, and the other 1/72 builders, do their models.
Anyway, as with Ian's build, mine's of Rickenbacker's "12" (I believe this is Rick's favourite scheme
) and it's the Roden 1/32 kit. I had a lot of fun with this, despite some self-induced problems. But more importantly, getting this done has raised by confidence levels a great deal. I'm no longer worried about rigging (I'll probably strip down my Pfalz and re-rig it, using the techniques I've learned) and actually enjoy it.
As you may have noticed, the windscreen is missing and so is the seat cushion. I don't know where they've escaped to, about the only place I haven't looked is down the sewer pipes. I can build a seat cushion again very quickly, but I'll need to find a drawing of the windscreen to build another. Once that's done, I should find the missing items.....
I'm still experimenting with doing the slatted rigging, but I'll leave this model's rigging as is. That's two completed, two in progress (SPAD 13 and Sopwith Tripe) and 26 more in the stash.
Cheers. Dal.
