Heather Kay Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Had my first tea of the day, so I’m okay. @Wez not to worry. It gave me a bit of a chuckle. I’m still doing the Advanced Muppetry course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigging not so sure Mr shaky hands, hammered sausage fingers will be up for that but we will see. Gruffers Well done! I’m sure it’ll be fine.

alt-92 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'd like to join with this beastie if I may: My late dad made one in the mid-1970s (the Roy Brown one), unfortunately it suffered a crushing defeat against a 50x70 picture frame. Been following DMCs build, and seen the whoopsies in the kit, so I want to give it a go as memento. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your name has been added to the list, but I hope you can keep your fingers off the kit until we actually get a date for the group build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jur Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (W)right, count me in for this one! I am scared of biplanes, triplane, quadruplanes and so on. Still, they have an eery fascination for me, they do worm their way into my stash and I so far have built a Gladiator and a Tiger Moth. A modest start then. I have a few more in the stash, but if this GB goes ahead I have set my sights on something special. Mind you, I'll need a lot of practice beforehand. Please add me to the list!

TonyOD Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The prospect of rigging terrifies me, but I can't consider myself any kind of FAA specialist until I've had a go at a Stringbag, can I? Add me in please! 🤪😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re more than welcome! (I’ve an Airfix Stringbag in the 1940 stash, but I’ve invested in the SBS etched set of rigging for it.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYA Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Like you Heather, it is not so much the fear of rigging but aligning all the struts and wings! Nevertheless I have plenty of bi planes stashed away. Maybe I will build a large scale one. Count me in. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almac Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 A tentative yes from me. I recently bought an airfix Bulldog as I thought I was brave enough to attempt the rigging. It’s so tiny it scares me a bit so I’ll need advice to rig it. Cheers Allan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfwit Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'd like to join in if I may, even though I haven't built any type of aircraft for about 30 years...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Depends on your preferred scale, but there’s much to recommend the Airfix Tiger Moth and Gladiator as good introductions. The instructions include rigging diagrams, and there is an etched stainless steel rigging set for the Tiggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
