That is very impressive indeed especially in that scale.

Missed the last few episodes of this. My that is just amazingly outstanding rigging. Makes my efforts puny by comparison. That could easily be 1/32 scale.

Hi all,
 Thanks for all the positive feedback, it's much appreciated!

I finally managed to get the structural rigging completed today. It took a lot longer than anticipated, mainly because I kept having completed lines pop out and would then have to remove them, redrill the holes, and refit them. Hopefully they are all now secure....



 Now on to tidying up the upper surfaces, repainting as necessary, and adding the decals. Then it will be the floats, and aileron rigging to complete the wings....

Ian

That is some difficult rigging. You've done a great job with it!

I'm all too familiar with lines popping out. >:( I read recently that PrzemoL does a pull test with each anchor point before he rigs to prevent those issues. I'll be doing that from now on too. :D

Remarkable work on the rigging, Ian!  Looking forward to seeing her finished.
Cheers,

Thanks for the feedback gents, much appreciated!
George - I do a pull test too, the problem is that I'm rigging the wings separately from the fuselage so there's a little more flex than normal. It doesn't help when the wings slip in my fingers and I stick my thumb through them either.... ::) To that end I just ordered the 3rd hand mentioned in another thread...that should certainly help with the aileron rigging!

I just ordered the Third Hand also. It shipped today and should arrive by Wednesday! Just in time to put under the tree. ;)

Matz, it's 1.5lb monofilament. It has a little stretch in it too so works very well, just difficult to see. I can't remember the brand, it's a Japanese one.  I'll check when I get home.
