1/72 Tiger Moth VH-AMY

[hrtpaul]

Bit of progress tonight. Rigged the top wing and it wasn't too hard. Hopefully the rest will go well cos I picked up my 1/32 Tiger today plus another (yes 2 x 1/32 Tigers) and yet another 1/72 Airfix Tiger. Here's the pics

Thanks Graeme. That's a stunning Tiger though I have no lack of inspiration. Tonight it was me vs the rigging. Haven't finished it yet but it's getting there. I had a few dramas tonight. These include breaking the cabane strut rigging thread when trying to tighten it with a match, managed to rip the front IP out when removing the rigging superglue, rerigged the cabane struts and then melted a cabane strut when using a match to retighten the thread, rebuilt the cabane strut and yet again rerigged the cabane strut. I've also put all the flying, landing and interplane strut wires through the holes in the bottom wing. Thought I'd give it away for the rest of the night. Despite all this I'm still enjoying my first rigging experience. It'll definitely be easier on the 1/32 Tiger than this 1/72 one



That's it for tonight

You are attacking that rigging like a pro. You may have missed your calling Paul...instead of wasting time on F-4s you maybe should have been building Bi planes all along

I've heard some ridiculous things in my time but that takes the cake

I'll leave the sucking to you and Damo considering you're both so good at it. Well that's the word on the street anyways
