Wayne's 1/72nd Short Biplane
I couldn't resist another model from the Landships II site.
This is one of my favorites and fills a hole in my WWI beasties collection. So far, it's the hardest one to put together (fuselage...long with multiple parts and not many bulk heads....I've got a twist in mine) but still elegant. It's even got a piano wire reinforced paper spar in the lower wing. Here is the state of affairs: Attachment 306745 Attachment 306746 Attachment 306747 Attachment 306748 Attachment 306749 I'm trying to hide the twist and so far if you look at it just right, it's ok. I'll make another knowing how to make it better next time. This one should keep me busy with rigging for at least two nights! Cheers and thanks for looking, Dan |

Other than the issue with the images (I see "Attachment 306745", 6, 7, and 8 instead of images, and when I click on the link I get "Invalid Attachment specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"), I am really happy to see that you are building the Short Biplane. Will wait patiently while the image issue gets sorted out. Best wishes on this build.

Beautiful. Can't see the twist. Glad you chose this one to do first.

Thanks, Fellas! This one is coming together pretty quickly now...
I got the top wings together and added the cabanes and interplanes. She is pretty straight and surprisingly strong! I'll start the floats tomorrow. Thanks for looking! Dan |

Looks very good Dan. Looks like you have quite a bit of rigging ahead of you. What will you use for it?
