Well after a lot of sweating and a few grand in the swear box I've got the wings on both of them

They're looking superb Ian, great skill shown here. Will you be rigging? :P

I'm going to give it a go Joe, but I've just noticed the wing strut on the right as you look at it of the Pup is not on right, so I'll have to fix that first.


Thanks for the nice comment too.

I've finally finished these two. I started to fit the rigging on these but it's very fiddly and I knocked the wings off the Pup and had to refit them. So I gave it up as a bad job. I've now started on the base for this so it shouldn't be long before I get it totally finished.

Small they maybe but perfectly done they look very good

[Guest]

Very very cool.

These look real great Ian

They look brilliant ian, shame about the rigging though. What were you using? Maybe the bristles from a fine long paintbrush , like the lining type used for nail art  could be used ?  Looking forward to the base , cheers tony

Looking good Ian. Luckily the Fokker doesn't have much rigging!

I'll give it another go with something different Tony

Ive used paintbrush bristles before ian and they were fairly easy ( the 1/72 pitts special) although the ones i used for that would maybe look a bit oversized on these tiddlers ! The only other thing i can suggest is human hair , do you know anyone with very straight preferably light coloured hair ? This sticks easily but might be difficult to get the tension . Cheers tony

Wow, maybe a moth's eyelash would be fine enough for the rigging; those planes are tiny!
