hendie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 wonderful. Simply wonderful. A host of novel techniques on display in regards to pretty much all aspects of model building. and all this talk of wine.... cheers! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Typical of a modeller, all the tools you need bar one LOL How many times has that happened to us? Nice idea about using Brass tubing as ferrules for the rigging. She is looking blooming marvelous sir. Simon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wow rigging looks great as now seeing with the props on too, this is great and looks amazing. I do like the idea of the brass tube to secure the antenna, what a great idea. Cracking build Tony. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Just when I thought this thread couldn't possibly give any more, comes rigging attached to brass tubes. Wonderful idea, [that I plan on stealing]. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So beautiful. Love the connection point idea for the EZ Line. I don’t think that would have helped my O/400 though. 😵 wondeful stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Great stuff Tony Ditto to what others have said about rigging with tubes - neat! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprueloose Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It has been such an instructive pleasure to watch this build Tony. A wealth of modeling tips and tricks on display, as well as just great skill and determination to care this incredible project through to completion. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Tony, it would be an insult to your intelligence if I were to pretend that I have been giving your work anything but my fullest attention over the last few months, but I have just had a quick catch up. What an incredible result you got there, testament to the sheer amount of research, trial, and work that you have put in. It has been a year & half of top notch modelling (in the truest sense), and sheer ruddy entertainment! Even the thread page numbering now reads like a veritable whats what of USAF/MAC airlifters! A beautiful rendition of the 119, deserves to be displayed in a case at the same museum as the full size Pelican.

TheBaron Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 CC, Keith, hendie, Simon, Giorgio, Cookie, Chris, Roger, Johnny, Ced, Sprueloose, Crisp, Terry, James. I'm too knackered at the end of this marathon to find much in the way of wit or originality to close the build with, but a massive and respect to all of you - - and everone else - who has been so supportive of this project. The Iron Chicken is now ready for inspection over at: On 9/3/2018 at 7:19 PM, Ex-FAAWAFU said: I shall miss my regular doses of Iron Chicken. Now what?

TheBaron Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 To complete the roll of honour in full tonight: Bill, Benedikt, John (Canberra), Massimo, CJP, Adrian, Tomo, Martian, Trevor, John D.C, Teuchter, Heather, Andwil. You have all at various stages cheered, inspired and informed me - and in the case of @perdu, tutored me in the 'art of vacform' - so that this build in the end became far more than I could have made it on my own. Thanks isn't enough but all I can proffer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I would DO the blush emoticon but am actually quite proud to have been part of your support team, I feel we may have just rowed across the Pacific and Atlantic in terms of interest you engendered and effort you put into it I gave you a rough idea of a technique mate, you turned out an artform Well done Tony 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yes, yes, yes . The Annie gets started. Great start and background on that. A bit late here, but I'm in now. The engine looks great as the etched parts. Very keen on this wip for sure. For that: Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
