Sopwith Triplane - WNW 1:32 scale


Recommended Posts

Hi all,
I've been asked several modellers if I would create a build log for my next build, which is the WNW Sopwith Triplane.
I thought I might try something different in that most build logs are only available from the web site hosting that build log. This means if any modellers want to use the build log during their particular builds, they need to keep visiting the web site where the build log is located and open it each time they wish to refer to it.
Most PC users can open and read a PDF documents, using free Adobe readers. So my idea is to create my build log as a PDF colour document, which can be dowloaded by anyone and then opened on their PC, as and when they want to refer to it, rather than having to go on-line and log-in to a web site build log.
I shouldn't cut down web site visits for the web masters, as the PDF would still need to be linked from the site concerned.
Anyway, I've started my Sopwith Triplane build log and uploaded it (using hosting server used for my wife's cake site) - it's OK as I pay for it anyway ;)
Here's the download link, if anyone want's to try it out - constructive feed back/comments are welcome.
For those interested, please remember the build log will be updated regularly as I progress through the build and will include the display base and ground work/figures etc.
Mike

Hi all,

It's been a while since I last updated this build.  Real life got in the way but I'm back on it now.

The PDF build log (see first post for link) has been updated, but here's some shots of the chipping around the forward fuselage, the engine and ignition leads and progress doing the CDL finish (showing the structure underneath).
