Spectre711 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I like the look of the invisible thread. I looked around locally for it but ended up ordering some EZ Line. It's on the way so I'll be back to work soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 How goes the rigging? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 When I was gluing in the top wing I pressed down too hard and smashed the braces. I have since reglued all the broken parts, although it still needs a little paint retouching. I guess I had to learn how delicate these thing are the hard way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spejic Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Still working. The rigging is done. Unfortunately, I screwed it up in a few locations. I had a complicated scheme of slots and holes that the rigging was supposed to go through. I would weight the free end, glue the connections, and trim the free end. When I did it right, it looks great. But I glued the low connection on the port wing when it was slack, and it couldn't be fixed. So I cut the strands and unevenly butt-joined them to the location with an ugly glob of superglue. The upper wing failure caused other rigging problems. It's a definitely a tricky skill and this aspect of modeling does not forgive mistakes. I have to putty a few small rigging holes, install the gun, control arms, and prop, and then dull coat it.
