Right On Lufbery! Now, how about the old Merlin 1/48 Salmson? That chunk o'plastic poly should n't bother a dogged vet like yourself! Congrats on the scale model of yourself too!

Drew, ya did a great job on this aircraft Thumbs Up [tup]

That rigging looks "cynical" & would drive me
totally bonkers!! Your base really sets it off too. Looks appropriate for that era.

Very nice work on the old bomber. Do you still have your sanity after all of that rigging wire? A new baby also adds to the stress level. Congratulations on both "projects".

Thanks!

Actually, it's more than a year -- almost two. But my wife and I had a baby in that time. For a while, my other hobby was building a nursery for the little guy. That deadline couldn't be moved!

Regards,

Hi all,

After more than a year of work, and after trying a number of new things (not the least of which is rigging a biplane), I've finished my Martin MB-2 that I started for the medium and heavy bomber group build (click the image for a larger version):
