Hockeyboy76 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I love double deckers, rather disappointed to find no chocolate variety here. Sign me up Heather as a rigging novice & I'm sure @nimrod54 will have something suitable in 144. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 a. I thought this was for Routemaster buses b. Is this only for rigging newbies? I enjoy the rigging of a bipe and I'm not too bad at it so can I join in? example below; 1/72 Vicker's Vimy 1/72 Bristol F2B Fighter 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nimrod54 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Add me to the list Heather. I have a second 1/144 Sopwith Pup that I can build, and there should be enough time to re-train the spider to rig it for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re the second person to comment on that, and no, I’m not changing the title (This is my 2020 New Me: same as the 2019 model, but with improved sense of humour. ) b. Everyone is welcome. In fact, being a rigging veteran, your input will be all the more valuable for the noobs who do join in. My aim was to encourage those of us who don’t feel at all confident about biplanes, triplanes, sesquiplanes, etc, in general to come along and have a go. I will add your name to the list. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am serious about the experience thing, though. I really would like to encourage the tentative mondellers to have a bash at rigging, and those of us who’ve done it before can teach us all.

nimrod54 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Here is my first Sopwith Pup alongside a giant tin of Humbrol enamel. This was partially rigged with Albion Alloys 0.1mm nickel-silver rod/wire. Before adding the top wing, I measured the lengths between the struts using a pair of dividers and cut the rod to length, fixing them in place with small dots of superglue. by John L, on Flickr 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 That's super teeny-tiny! If you can do that in 1/144 I think: 1. It should take the fear element out rigging for novices and... 2. Is that your way of volunteering to be a co-host? Super impressive work John, well done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 You can add my name to the list please Heather, Roden's new 1/32 CR-42 will be out before the GB starts (assuming we get through the bun fight!) and they have hardly any rigging! Or I could do a Henschel Hs-123 and they have no rigging at all!! Craig. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) When I read the title I was thinking it was time to build a routemaster. Obviously not. Edit - trust me to read just the first post and then reply. Edited January 1, 2020 by Abandoned Project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Please add me to the list Heather, I'm another sufferer of rigging phobia and this may just the thing I need in order to learn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my biplanes in the stash don’t have rigging, but then I don’t intend the GB to be just about the stringy bits. 10 hours ago, Abandoned Project said: When I read the title I was thinking it was time to build a routemaster.

RMs welcome, provided they have more than one pair of wings. 3 hours ago, Cookenbacher said: Please add me to the list Heather, I'm another sufferer of rigging phobia and this may just the thing I need in order to learn! We need to get a proper medical term for rigging phobia, don’t we. Consider yourself signed up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbjorn Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 ”Double decker” means biplane here, no London-style omnibuses being around, so a perfectly apt title. Allow me to the next spot in the list, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could take the Matrix way out and build a Fokker D.VII, Henschel Hs123 or Nieuport-Delage NiD-622. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
