Rigging Done and Prop On

On my own tonight so decided to get as much done as I could. Put in 4 hours. Rigging takes a while.

My rigging choice. Smoke coloured FireLine from Canadian Tire.

The time spent making the turnbuckles paid off in spades during the rigging
process.

I also added the prop when the rigging was done. Used the wood oil
techniques, but did a light and dark base colour in stripes to
simulate a laminated prop. Use Tamiya clear orange over it all to
make it look like lacquer. Then used Grey metallic and dry brushed silver
to do the prop mounting.

I just love the combination of rigging wire, rusty exhaust pipes,
engines, wooden props and beaten metal on World War 1 aircraft. 

I tried to keep the rigging tidy. 

It is quite difficult to get the right tension and keep it. I might try the
EasyLine product on my next WW1 aircraft build. 

I have to say this shot almost looks like the real thing.

Speaking of the real thing here it is. 

I just have to add some PR struts to the rear stabilizer and control wires to the rudder
and the model will be complete.
