I started on the fuselage rigging today. It pushed my blood pressure through the roof!! I speak two languages and I think I used just about every swear word in my repertoire including a couple that a Greek friend taught me a couple of years ago. At the end, my wife asked if I needed the dictionary to check if I had left any potential words out. Still, I think it was worth the stress Grin

And just how big are those turn-buckles???

The posh dinning room table is actually my expensive slate pool table that my wife like to have covered looking like a posh dinner table Angry

Are you doing this work with any kind of magnifying device, or just straining your poor eyes? Shocked

Incredible work!

Incredible work!

The problem with a magnifying device is that the turn buckle is nice and big and then my fat fingers are §$%& huge and very much in the way Grin

I've been following your progress. That is one very nice model. I too have one of those multi purpose pool tables. I'd be lost without it. Grin

Dang Matt! I was thinking about asking if those turnbuckles actually work, but then I saw the 3^rd shot. You have a lot more patience than I. Can't wait to see the finished product.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Oh, come on... those aren't even real turnbuckles! No tiny swages, or thimbles... I don't see what the big deal is...

Wink

Reminds me of a plastic model of the Cutty Sark I built as a kid... almost went insane doing the rigging. Cheesy

A long time ago whilst do another detailed model my wife commented that it with all the howling it sounded like a werewolf was doing the kit and not me. Since then she has coined a phrase in this house. When I start swearing and cursing at a model, or anything else, she just turns around and says, "calm down and stop werewolfing". In fact I came home a couple of days ago and found a small note next to my latest creation.........Not a bad sence of humour my wife (for a German that is Grin

)
