LSP_Kevin 32,467 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Unfortunately I didn't quite get the time I had planned with the Tiger Moth today, but I did get as far as installing the landing gear: I think from here I'm probably good to get a coat of primer on the poor old girl so I can start the paint job.

LSP_Kevin 32,467 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Thanks, fellas. I elected to put the landing gear on before painting mainly to ensure the strongest possible glue joins, as test-fitting wasn't all that encouraging. I've always had a bad habit of using too much glue, so attaching this wobbly assembly to an already-painted surface would have been a disaster, and I would have had to repaint the area anyway.

LSP_Kevin 32,467 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 No actual progress, but I'm pleased to report that the Prym knitting-in elastic I ordered from the UK arrived safely today. And it handily beat the EZ-Line I ordered from a local establishment across town the same day, which I'm still waiting for. Kev MARU5137, mozart and Derek B 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Kevin 32,467 Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Again no real progress, but I did receive my eyelets from Bob's Buckles yesterday. Man, I had no idea how tiny they are! They're going to test my eyesight, for sure. Kev monthebiff, MARU5137 and Out2gtcha 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 36,388 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Yep any kind of "helping hand" type device can be nice. When I did my DH-2 having two poseable alligator clips is really nice when threading Prym through any of Bob's excellent products. MARU5137 and LSP_Kevin 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
LSP_Kevin 32,467 Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 And finally my EZ-Line order arrived today, so I'm now fully out of excuses to not tackle the rigging - other than needing to finish (ahem, start) the paint job first.
