Looks amazing , Mike @sandbagger

Coming together excellently, my friend @sandbagger!

Hi all,
Final rigging is complete.
I tried this time using resin Anchor Points, but won't bother in the future.
Although they will take tension in the rigging line, they break away very easily if only slightly knocked.
I'll continue to use the metal versions from 'Gaspatch', even though most unfortunately have blocked 'eye' ends, which effectively renders them unusable.
I've used 1:32nd and 1:48th scale One Ended version turnbuckles from 'Gaspatch' on this build.

There's still more bits to fit and figures to paint, but I'm getting there,

The rigging looks amazing, Mike @sandbagger.
Those turnbuckles do look great, might give those a try on my next bi-plane.

Very well done!

Hi all,
The tie bars between the flying and landing wires on both sides of the aircraft have been added.
Made from 0.6 mm diameter plastic rod.
The actual tie bars had the wires passing through them.
However, this is not possible to do on the model, as the the bars are too thin to drill.
Also, the holes would need to be accurately position along the bars and the wires passed through them during final rigging.
If the holes are not positioned accurately the wires would be deflected and not be straight.
Therefore I had no option but to locate the bars onto the wires and secure then in position using thin CA adhesive,

Looking impressive mounted this way, my friend @sandbagger!
