Why I stay clear of biplanes too.
Sticking with Fokker D VII's and Dr1s will give ya the best of both worlds, Bondo... Nothing to rig 'cept the gear-struts and the contol-cables, generally... Easily done with piano-wire or sprue.. No inter-plane or cabane strut-rigging needed! On the other end, stay away from the JN-4Ds... Evening the rigging has rigging..
bondoman Just teasing! For me, all of the things on ships where rigging disappears into a deck or surface at each end and cannot be stretched and knotted at one end, like stack stays. Why I stay clear of biplanes too.

Biplanes aren't so bad. I was terrified of 'em forever, til I built and rigged one. Twisted wire for eyebolts, small lengths of microtubing as turnbuckles, loop monofilament through, slide the tubing down like a bolo, glue it down, and repeat on the other side. Tedious, yes, but in a relaxing, zen-like way. Don't know that you could do the same on a ship, but bipes don't terrify me the way they used to...

My dachshund likes to help me look for parts I've dropped. The problem is, she thinks they're treats that are meant for her. I was building a Bundeswehr Marder last year and she chewed up two of the road wheels making them completely unusable.

On the Bench: Too Much
The decaling. The fewer markings the better for this guy. If I fudge the rigging or the paint or a seam, not a big deal to re-do it. It I fudge a critical marking, I'm pretty much hooped.

I hate masking.... and wondering if it will work!
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
