Ww1 horror of the trenches

[kpnuts]

Hi all I did say planes were my nemesis, here is where I'm at, now, I don't know why I have so much trouble with planes.



This is a simple plane I've no idea how I'm going to cope with the rigging on the tri plane, still trying to get my head round the rigging on this one.

Hi all here is the next update,




I may scrap the planes dio (why are planes so blooming difficult)

Have some of the Rigging attached at the base of where it starts but there is no need to connect it, this is a wreck afterall. Not all the pieces have to fit  :)

Hi all here's the next update

Hi all well the first one in the series is done I've put the two together since that is how they will be displayed, I'm quite pleased with the outcome so far.

Your skill with dioramics and depicting the horror of it all is superb.  Impressive  :)

Hi all, well I've finished one of my nemesis's, the first plane, I know I'm rubbish at them but I think this would be OK in an infant school, hopefully the older kids will take pity on me as the first two dios are OK.

As there are so few modellers out there, I'm sure you'll "get away with it" (not that I think there's anything wrong with it, anyway). :)

Hi all well here is the next installment, I was going to do this crashed in a green valley in the summer but then I thought, this is supposed to be showing the horror of the war, so I decided to have it crashed in a cold snow covered muddy field, so here is the revision, personally I think it looks really cold.

Hi all I decided to put the decals on before I put the wings on or the rigging as I can see it being very fiddly after, I'm figuring that maybe I will rig each layer of wings before I add the next layer, I know nothing about rigging planes, is this a good method or will it cause problems later on.

Now I'm confused, the instructions show the crossover rigging in the wings going through them with the middle of the cross intersecting the centre of the wing the box art shows the starting at the inside of the top wing and going in front of the other two and seeming to attach to the undercarriage and crossing below the centre wings, photos on Google are inconclusive, personally it would be easier if they didn't go through the wings, which is correct.
