ccoyle got a reaction from Dave_E in Salmson 2 A.2 by ccoyle - WAK - 1/33 - CARD - in markings of aircraft flown by Capt. Arthur J. Coyle, 1st Squadron, US Air Service, Autumn 1918
I got the cabane struts and their bracing done, so of course I had to give the top wing a trial fit.

ccoyle got a reaction from Ryland Craze in Looking for Assistance Completing Model
Hi, Robert. First, allow me to offer my condolences on the loss of your father. It's a commendable desire to have his model completed in his memory. It's a bit daunting that the model requires essentially all of its rigging work done, as that is no easy task. Another option to consider is to display your father's model as a hull model, which as the name suggests is simply the hull of a vessel sans masts and rigging. Finishing your father's model in that fashion would entail considerably less work. Hull models often include stump masts, essentially just the lower portion of each mast. Your father made the masts already, so that would be a straightforward fix. I'll add some links to hull models in the gallery so you can see what I've described.

ccoyle reacted to MAGIC's Craig in TWILIGHT 2007-2009 by MAGIC's Craig - Scale 1:16 - RADIO - Pacific Northwest cruising powerboat
In preparation for completing the topsides planking, the stern bulwark was "beavered-up" from a laminated block of cedar and then bonded to the hull at deck level, using masking tape to hold it stationary while the glue cured.
A set of deck beams were made up and glued atop the main deck clamps and to the additional raised foredeck pair of clamps. For the support provided while the planking continues, these beams span the full beam at their locations. Once the planking is completed, the fitting of carlins to the deck framing will trim out the middle portion of many of them.
The rudder has been connected to the servo with a link to its tiller arm.
I will finish this update with a (somewhat washed-out) photo taken this afternoon showing TWILIGHT awaiting further planking in the days to come.
Until again,
Craig

ccoyle got a reaction from mtaylor in HMS Victory 1765 by PvG Aussie - FINISHED - Scale 1:530 - BOTTLE
The problem is, adding a sub-forum for every modeling niche creates clutter on the homepage, and in the past we have had to prune categories because members complained that there were too many! Striking the happy balance between too many and not enough is always difficult. But -- every SIB build log is tagged with the word 'BOTTLE', so they can easily be found.

ccoyle got a reaction from mtaylor in Rigging for beginners lol
Just like on a real ship, you need to get your masts steadied first. This means your stays (forestays and backstays) and shrouds should be done first. In any case, you can't do the ratlines until the shrouds are set up.
