Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've also had a bit of a disaster. One undercarriage leg of my Firefly simply collapsed! Don't know why. There was no rought handling or anything. It then resisted all the usual methods of repair. I've managed to sort it with a bed of Milliput but it does mean that the base of the leg doesn't bear any close inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) Press on men, no time for the faint of heart! I still have to get the three wings of my Sopwith Triplane to line up, take a deep breath, steady as she goes... Edited October 3, 2013 by Richard B.

Col. Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Time is my issue, Loosing a day this weekend, It's gonna be tight. That sounds fun Mish ? Keep up the progress gang. There are some cracking models taking shape here and it'd be great to see them in the gallery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Re: Eduard 1/48 Sopwith Triplane - - Regretfuly I will have to drop out. I know that I will not be able to finish the model on time. I could try and rush it, but I do not want to spoil it. I've worked so long and hard on it. So sorry. Richard B.

Col. Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sorry to hear you have to withdraw but it is, as you say, for the best and this one is too good to rush. Hopefully we will see it in RFI during the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B. Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Re: Eduard 1/48 Sopwith Triplane Resurrection. I tried one last ditch effort, throwing caution to the wind, going for broke, etc. and....it worked - I got the three wings on!! The next is the rigging. Sooo.. if you don't mind, I'll withdraw my withdrawl. I'm not out of the woods yet, but I was premature in giving up. Frustrated. It ain't over 'til it's over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar2 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Well for once I've finished a kit for a GB. Thanks to the hosts for a very nice and well run GB, well done chaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 The final touches to my three builds should happen tonight. I'll take photos and post them on Saturday morning, when there is some decent light. I'd like to echo Dave's sentiments. Many thanks to the hosts. This has been a thoroughly enjoyable GB - must do it again sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B. Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Realistically, I don't think I can finish the Sopwith triplane in time. There is too much to do. I have still more work on the landing gear, the tail plane, clear coating before rigging, and then the rigging. Too much in too little time.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Oh my word what a cracking GB this turned out to be! Now that we're almost at the end, I don't want it to stop...

Many thanks to SaintsPhil for hosting this one. Who's up for FAA II? I'll second that. Made 2 kits that would have lay hidden in the stash and stretched my modelling skill.

John_W Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Of course, having bought the paint specially for this build, and having lots left over, I suppose I am just going to have to build some more FAA birds just to use it up.
