Evening everyone,
I'm afraid I'm at a loss of words, but I'm going to do my best to answer everyone. I honestly can't thank you enough for the kind words and comments. I am totally humbled and blown away by them...
After dinner, I will post an update of the progress. Here is a pic as a teaser till then,
Here are the parts that are left over from the kitset build, including my feeble attempt at painting the lacing on the wheel hubcaps...Till later..........
Prost

Thanks Mark and I have definitely learned a lot from the ordeal too!!! What have you on the bench now??? Or are you still doing the floaty thing???...Excellent work on the rigging.
You poor soul Steve...I do feel for you and hope the next appointment goes well, Sir...Gute Besserung too!!!...I took the plunge once Allen - my next hospital appointment is due soon - but (as you say) it was worth it No guts, no glory!!

Wow Rick, but I have to ask...Is that one steak or one bourbon, per customer a week??? I was hoping it was one steak and a few Bourbons. Just wondering...Fat chance there Allen, I do my own cooking and drinking right here under me own roof!! And the limit is one per customer once a week.
Thank you Neil! Don't you really think it's time to dust her off and have a go to finish it??? I know you could, and a person with your skills wouldn't have a prob there at all...Superb result, Mr D!
And I don't want to do one either, although I do have a half-finished 1-32 Sopwith Camel on the shelf of doom....
Congratulations!
Hey my good friend, my patience went out with the rotary dial telephone and that's long ago. I do have a Feixstowe float plane from WnWs in the stash. The damn thing is huge too and prolly won't fit in the spray booth. Thanks for coming by and there are 100 better beers here, where I live, than Bitburg Buddy...Awesome Captain Jack.Got more patience than i dear boy.Ive seen youtube vids with rigging and turnbuckles being fabricated.A guy from another club used to make wingnut stuff and he built most of the range.I live near Felixstowe port where the Felixstowes used to be based at the stationt here.
Carry on dude.Yo ho ho and a bottle of Bitburg.
Rich.
Thank so much Andy! It gets even better now. BTW, let Cohan know he's doing a hell of a job on that TBF Avenger too!!!...It's all been said,so I'll just add...
.... Superb stuff Allen, absolutely cracking paintwork especially
You are much too kind Joe. I must apologize to you as I missed commenting on on your wonderful swimming rowboats with wheels build. I thought I had, but I guess my old melon doesn't work like it used to...Oh, and there were no probs with pink during this journey my friend. Hope you and the family are all doing well in uptown Pennsy...Mr D I somehow missed this in its entirety until now..and so glad that I found it and after catching up…WOW what a tremendous build, paint job, rigging… someday I may have the courage to expand my horizons and build a wingy thing but I can say that you have made marvelous work of this beauty … I am kind of surprised that those “pink” tones didn’t throw you a little off balance…lol..she’s a beaut for sure!!!
Thanks Bro! I don't think I have ever held my breath so many times, in my entire life, doing the rigging on this puppy. I think my face still has a blue tint to it...Came out sooooo excellent. Great piece of work Dude.
I wish I could take one Paul, but after bowling last night, I'm a hurtin' pup!!! It's always fun to throw your balls down the alley, but you pay the price the next day. Thanks Brother...Take a bow my friend that is beautifully neat work.
Wow, thanks so much Colin! I have a plan to add some figs and maybe a small base for it. I would love to do a dio, but living in a small apartment puts the damper on anything bigger I'm afraid. It would look great with a hanger behind it though...This is looking totally and utterly splendid. It will look even better inserted into a 1:32 diorama of a WW1 aerodrome. Just saying !
