I was being sarcastic about what I said regarding the swastika!!  I love the swastika!  I would even tattoo it on my kids butt! Ha, ha   

I just can't understand why this law about the swastika ... and why are people..... people in Europe that are suppose to have evolved another 60 years.... can remain so regressive! I say to them "Open up you minds!!" How can a symbol be dangerous or offensive!

You gotch us you plonker

Noel, only in Germany this symbol is offensive, even the SS symbol. They are so strict that even model expos are checked. The idea behind it was not to get neo-nazis emerge from the ruins especially when Germany was split ... but I agree with you I think they should review these laws. Did you know they are strict not having uniforms there aswell, scoats just keep the scarf for example and the military they are not strict with hair length etc etc ...

What did you use for the rigging? It looks the part really   

I think you did pass your Acid Test since MaRCo "loves" this

Wow, Brian! Do you really mean it!?   

I'm sure I'll get better with every plane!

Well I never saw you so HAPPY like a kid in a candy store actually    while you are modelling, so I think you hit your TURNING POINT somewhere

Another example:

Can you see those two straight vertical rigging next to the support?

First I drilled two shallow position holes under the upper wing. These serve as a position point for the fishing line and a cavity for the super glue to fill in and hold the line.

I dip one end of the line in SG and gently place it in the shallow position hole and wait overnight.
On the bottom wing I drilled two clean (straight through) holes and I passed the other end of the line and pulled gently to tension the line. Keeping the tension, I placed SG in the hole and wait for it to dry... it took only a minute or so because the line bonds very quickly.

So are you lending this beauty to the WWI Display diorama Noel   ?
