Greg Davis Posted Monday at 01:13 AM Author #271 Posted Monday at 01:13 AM I need to keep reminding myself that his contraptions were almost always in flux and that he seemed to like having pictures taken with his work no matter the stage of construction. Combine this with him taking parts from one project to put on another and then possibly modifing after in place makes using the photographic evidence so much fun! iMustBeCrazy and Canute 2
Greg Davis Posted Monday at 01:14 AM Author #272 Posted Monday at 01:14 AM Getting some rigging in place now: iMustBeCrazy, steamschooner, AON and 5 others 8
Jim Lad Posted Monday at 07:14 AM #273 Posted Monday at 07:14 AM Ahh! That'll tighten the whole thing up. John AON, Canute, Greg Davis and 1 other 4
Greg Davis Posted Tuesday at 03:04 AM Author #274 Posted Tuesday at 03:04 AM Even tighter now! Added the engine pylon bracing and backstays: Two more lines to go; the one's that go from engine pylon to aft part of the nacelles. Then onto the ignition harness to finish what I plan to do on the engine. steamschooner, AON, Canute and 4 others 7
Jim Lad Posted Tuesday at 04:23 AM #275 Posted Tuesday at 04:23 AM Looking great, Greg! John Canute, Greg Davis and Keith Black 2 1
Greg Davis Posted Wednesday at 12:57 AM Author #276 Posted Wednesday at 12:57 AM Rigging is done (as far as it's going to be!). So on to the ignition harness. Trying to install resin spark plug boots; they're a bit of a challenge for me and I've lost two to my gray floor so far - lucky I ordered 20, 8 on -2 lost is a ratio that will work. The boots are made by Pro Tech and are marketed for 1/25 scale model cars. Jim Lad, GrandpaPhil, Canute and 3 others 6
Greg Davis Posted 19 hours ago Author #277 Posted 19 hours ago As I went to the other side, more boots went missing so I ordered more as a safety measure - it must of worked because a got 16 in place and have one left over before receiving the extras! I've wired one side based on the following picture: Here's the result: Time to turn the boat around and complete the wiring. Canute, Siggi52, AON and 3 others 5 1
Jim Lad Posted 19 hours ago #278 Posted 19 hours ago That looks very realistic, Greg! John druxey, Keith Black and Canute 3
