I'm still just dipping my toes in😏 Your Sopwith Pup is looking fantastic! I think you’d do just fine! You should check out the Shipyard kits. They are around $30-$40 USD each if you get the 1/96 ones. They also have a few real nice 30th anniversary combos for around $60-$70 USD that come with between 2-3 kits of varying skill levels. I bought the Northern European Sail Part 2 set and am seriously thinking about buying the one with the two Dutch Vessels. Ab Hoving’s scratch building in card tutorial is great too! There is surprisingly little difference between building a kit and just working from scratch (also surprisingly little difference between building a POB ship in card and building in wood).

Edwardkenway Posted October 1, 2022 Author #70 Posted October 1, 2022 Hello again, another hour on the pup, and the top wings are attached. The struts were a little bit fiddly then trying to line the struts up with the tiny pinholes in the top wing was even worse. Next time I'm going to attempt do all the rigging on it. The diagram to do this is slightly vague, as there are no steps to follow, just lots dashed lines showing the runoff the rigging.

I'm not sure if there is a page on rigging the Pup though I have seen it for other birds in the past. Usually it's just photos that someone has annotated.

Getting the rigging done on these is a combination of getting a general idea of how biplanes are rigged (comes through practice), learning to read and interpret rigging diagrams (also comes with practice), and scouting images on the internet (yep -- practice . . . nah, just kidding on that one).

Edwardkenway Posted October 2, 2022 Author #77 Posted October 2, 2022 Thankyou gentlemen, I think I've worked out the run of all the lines, after a long perusal of the diagram and lots of looking at various pictures of other models and full size Pups. so I've started with the rigging at the back. This may take a while😊 I'm using fine black EZline. This is the first rigging I've done since Sherbourne and I'm a bit rusty. Thanks for all the comments, likes and having a peep.

Edwardkenway Posted October 4, 2022 Author #79 Posted October 4, 2022 Bit more done with the tailplane rigging another long look at the rigging diagram and I think that's it for the rear of the plane. So before I move onto the wings I've got a couple more bits to do, starting with the weapon. the version I've done has the Lewis gun. To be honest I have toyed with the idea of buying the aftermarket weapons, but that would feel too much like cheating😇🤭 As always thanks for visiting, commenting and all the likes.

Edwardkenway Posted October 5, 2022 Author #80 Posted October 5, 2022 Rain has stopped play, early day from work, so I used some unexpected free time to put together the Lewis MG The tweezer ping happened as I was trying to attach the handle, so improvising and overcoming, a small piece of brass wire became the handle. It goes without saying, the barrel is brass too, I've still not managed to roll the small tubes satisfactorily 😬. I'll keep practicing though 😉. Just have darken the edges.

Edwardkenway Posted October 8, 2022 Author #83 Posted October 8, 2022 So, I managed to complete the rigging, fit the gun and then realised that the windshield needed fitting 🙄. So very carefully in order not to snap any cables or knock the gun off, glued the very last piece on. That's it, my first serious card model finished 😊 There are plenty of lessons learned, mainly to take a bit more care with glue, especially the CA used to attach the rigging. Taking more time to match the colours for the edges, is also something I'll need to do next time. All in all, it's been a fun little build, I've enjoyed building this plane. It was fairly straightforward, and would be a very suitable subject for novice card modellers. Now for some more photos. Thanks to everyone who has followed along and for the likes, your input is greatly appreciated. @ccoylegets a special mention because, it's all his fault😁 Till next time Cheers Javlin, CDW, GrandpaPhil and 16 others 14 5 Quote Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 - on hold HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64 - FINISHED Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - FINISHED Providence whaleboat- 1:25 - FINISHED Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED
