Success!

I got the center section on, glued and rigged. I also drilled holes for the top wing gun positions.

Hot diggity-dog (if that's how you spell it)! Very pleased right now.

Thanks for looking.

...and remarkable! I presume the top wing will get some of your lozenge decal?

Flying castle

That is starting to look like a magnificent flying castle - amazing these things could fly - just wonderful

You drilled some excellent round holes Dan - I'm a man who knows how difficult this is - unless you did this with a 1/2 inch drill, but I doubt this ...

Drill bit, William!

August 1 2012, 5:16 PM 

Actually, all I did was drill a pilot hole with a small bit (under 1/16 inch) and then used that as a starter for a cone-shaped Dremel tool attachment. This made things nice and even. Finished them off with just some sandpaper wrapped around an x-acto blade handle...

I'm trying to put the interplanes on tonight. It is harder than I thought since they flex like madmen...

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature WWI Aircraft Kits.

  1. This Group Build will run until 31 December, 2011.

  2. Build as many kits as you like.

  3. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  4. Any markings are acceptable.

  5. Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
