I don’t know how you people deal with that rigging stuff, I have enough of a problem doing 1 radio wire.

22

I hear ya on that![%-)]

23

Maybe it’s a counter-rotating Liberty. [:D] [:O]

I’ll get it right next time. [;)]

24

Seriously, the rigging was actually pretty cool to work on. A good light, needlenosed tweezers, and some zip kicker really helped.

Nice work Drew! It looks great, glad to see this one completed

26

That’s a real beauty, Drew !

VERY clean work, and nice attention to detail. Adding all that rigging in 1/72 is a commendable accomplishment.

WELL DONE !

So what size was that magnifier ya used?!?![;)] Man, still gotta be a pain to see when wworking on it

28

can’t add anything that everybody’s righteously already stated, other than I am very impressed with your tenancity on the kit and how good it looks.

So what’s next on the work bench Drew??[;)]

31

I’m working on a 1/64 scale wooden ship, the Brigantine Lexington. It’ll be a very long term project, being my first wooden ship, and with more than half of it needing to be scratchbuilt. So, I’ll probably build a few airplane kits when I need a break from the ship. [:D]
