Peter Lloyd Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Let's keep the Great War in focus after the 100th anniversary. I'm hoping I can just propose this here purely on the basis of having had the thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jb65rams Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I would be interested, have a 1/32 Roden SE5a in the stash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbjorn Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 For some reason the SE5 doesn’t appeal to me - so this is the chance to ever having one: I’m signing up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have completely built and painted a Wingnut Wings SE5a, but haven't done the rigging, does that qualify for the 25% done rule?🤔 ....JK of course but it feels like the rigging saps 75% of my modelling spirit. I would join, I'd like to build a 1/48 kit with one of the colourful 60 Squadron schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would join, I'd like to build a 1/48 kit with one of the colourful 60 Squadron schemes. I certainly endorse the idea that rigging is most of the work. I presently have four biplanes stalled due to the heartbreak of trying to do decent rigging in 1/72 scale. I estimate my Roden Albatros has consumed about four hours in building and painting and probably approaching 20 in rigging, which might be half way done. Ezy-Line is the devil's own rigging material. With five worthy swords committed to the cause, we are on the way! Edited October 21, 2019 by Peter Lloyd typos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbjorn Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Do you have anyone in the house with long hair? Cheap, strong, responds well to CA and PVA, good and uniform diameter. Why people bother with stretched sprue or EZ line I do not fathom. It also takes paint well, in case your source is not silver-haired: Oh, and I just bought a preowned Roden SE5 on a sale, so I’m all set.

Torbjorn Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hmm, I see the inconvenience. Hint that you need a dog, and if she agrees, come home with one of these: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
