WNW DH2.
« on: March 30, 2014, 08:30:35 PM »
All finished (apart from the canbane rigging (I really didn't have the heart - maybe later).  Believe it or not I did carry out a bit of lght preshading on the flying surfaces.  I have to say that rigging aside, it's probably the easiest WNW model I've built!

Graham,
Your DH really came out terrific! I like your PC 10 shade, what did you use?
The rigging is great and the boom looks perfect! As for those cabanes a little stretched sprue would work and not require drilling or any surgery.

Looks splendid Graham!  This one is next on my list, and your encouraging words about ease of assembly (not rigging) are helpful. :D.  Well done!

Cheers,

Bob

This is an excellent rendition of the real thing - I am really very impressed.

I completely agree especially about using sprue. I used to use it for my models in God's Own Scale but have stopped because I needed so much that using wire was easier. With the cabanas rigged it would doubtless be a winner.

Hello, Graham,

Cabane rigging aside, your model has come out looking really well and I am pleased that you managed to overcome the problem with the tail booms.

Regards

Hello Graham:

This turned out very nice, cabane rigging not withstanding.  You managed to overcome a challenge and you now have a great looking model.

Best
