Here comes Snoopy in his Sopwith Camel.

I've gotten a little more done. The thin decals and Mr Softer work so well it looks painted because the detail really comes through.
However, layering the Ronudels has diminished the fine detail. I think if I ad a few more layers of Softer it might melt the decal down a little better.

I had to fashion a new rear landing gear, because I lost the original after it snapped off

Wednesday is my thigh/hip replacement surgery. I hope I'm able to get up the stairs as that is where my space is.
I'll have some free time.

I just want to send best wishes for a quick recovery on your hip replacement, Gary. Don't worry about anything more than your recovery.

I want to say thank you to my 3 brothers. Even though we have never met, I like how we have the bond that we have made.

Thanks again!

The blue one is a metal plane I recieved as a gift.
The small green on we got at the Lone Star Flight Museum. I was a simple build with a few screws.
And of course, our group build. That I'll be continuing on.

This rigging is hard for me.
I'm trying to do what I can tonight, 'cause I don't know when I would be able to use stairs.

I found that if I go one anchor point at a time and glue as I go it went better for me.
(If that makes sense)

Perfect sense. Thanks.

This is where I stopped. One hiccup. I lost a back strut near the cockpit. I connected the line with Zap a Gap. It works... for now.

Also a few extra pics. Decals ate completed. I'll spay it later wit a light wash then a satin finish.

It's been a fun build, guys.

 

[GaryG64]

Seriously, I am running out of room! lol!

That's exactly what I did. Takes a bit of time but you can really tension the cable without everything coming loose. Pantherman

 

[Bear43]

That's what I am doing as well. Tedious but worth it.
