    Looking great, George. The streaked camo really looks the part.

    Today I managed to get all of the wires done. Surprisingly, the longer wires, which I thought would be the easiest to attach, turned out to be a lot of trouble. Once they were on, I did the final painting and added the final parts. I did a little weathering using artist oils and Turpenoid. With the weathering complete, I am calling the triplane done. It was a fun build, even if it did take considerably longer than I thought. Thanks to everyone who has been on the journey with me. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Cheers.

    Thanks, John (@johnb). I had trouble getting the photos into the headlines article. Took 2 hours to get the photos to upload. Eventually got them to go in by adding one photo, saving the article, then repeating until all the photos were in. I don't have the same problems with the posts in groups, but I have the same problem every time in headlines. You would think it was the same process.
