TimW Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 At long last, it's done...fell off the table once, even. Overall, I'm happy with the results and will reiterate once again just how much fun these kits are to build....OK, sometimes it can be a bit challenging, but it's worth it!

JamesHatch Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 That is inspirational Tim. The rigging looks superb, and the overall finish is flawless. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Tim Fantastic build. The rigging and finish is spectacular. I My SE5 arrived from Wingnut Wings last week and after watching your build, it's on my build list. I'm knee deep in my Mustang Group build right now; Big Beautiful Doll and then want to finish up my Jug. After that it's Back to the Future and WWI. Gorgeous work.

LSP_K2 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I like it. I'm patiently waiting for the D.VII, then I'll tackle my next WWI bird. This Fee looks pretty cool too though; I may have to snatch one. Thanks for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Paul Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Tim that is truely a great looking model! The rigging and finish came out very well and If you had'nt told anybody it happened, nobody would ever know it took a "flight" from the model table. Very impressive! Great job!

TimW Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Many thanks for the kind words! I really enjoyed the build...and now have to contemplate what comes next?!! I wonder if WNW will do any French aircraft? I may have to get the FE-2 (Late) as well. I also highly recommend that elasticized rigging line WNW is selling on their website (as well as the EZ-Line) that stuff is a dream to work with, compared to fishing line! Regards, Tim W.

PopPop Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Tim: A great looking model and a tribute to your skill and patience! I'm starting my FE 2b Late and know that the rigging will be a challenge. Yours looks great. I have the EZ Line and the flat thread is "in the mail". How did you attach the flat rigging? Did you attach directly to the attachment point, or did you try to simulate the attachment hardware itself? I sincerely hope mine bears some resemblance to yours when finished.

PopPop Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Tim: Well, as the kids say "my Bad!"... at least for part of my previous post. I went back and looked at your pictures, and you did indeed use some kind of hardware to simulate the attachment points for the flat rigging.... it does add significantly to the finish... So my simple question on that point is: what did you use? Thanks again... and regards again Charlie L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
