| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 21-Aug-16 15:55 |  | | Views : 712 | | Some lacing from my wife's sale tags. Lightly painted white to allow some of the silver to show through. This is to be used as "faux" rubber shock cords on the landing gear. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 21-Aug-16 15:52 |  | | Views : 753 | | Fast forward to landing gears, bullet shaped fairing, and brackets in place and ready for installing to fuselage. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 21-Aug-16 15:48 |  | | Views : 722 | | Landing gears and struts during the early build. Used basswood with several coats of varnish. That white "thangy{ being held by the needle nose pliers is the rough shape of the pilot's head rest. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 17-Aug-16 23:28 |  | | Views : 775 | | Pun intended, but this is the "end" result of rigging with pins between the two wing struts. I sincerely thank each and everyone for your support. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:36 |  | | Views : 775 | | Sorry this is the other side. But basically sized the plastic rigging and turnbuckles to fit and simply slipped them over the pin cut to the right size. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:34 |  | | Views : 676 | | I simply took a regular pin and bent it at 90 degrees as close to the head as possible. Then inserted it through the hole made in the bracket |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:32 |  | | Views : 698 | | Came up with (to me) a somewhat novel concept. It's basically a continuation of using wire to hold the turnbuckle and rigging in place -see my previous postings |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 16-Aug-16 22:31 |  | | Views : 748 | | 'As previously mentioned in one of my past posts, trying to figure out how to attach the turnbuckle/rigging to the wing strut bracket. Initially thought of using fishing line to loop around and pull the rigging, but would leave the fishing line exposed as well as dealing with the beaded turnbuckle. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 15-Aug-16 22:07 |  | | Views : 696 | | I could've used tiny hooks as anchor points for the double rigging at the fuselage, but a close up photo shows it to have a special bracket. So, decided to try as best as I could. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 15-Aug-16 22:05 |  | | Views : 696 | | Poppy, bsadonk, Dfell, Don C, and Anders, I sincerely thank each one of you for those amazing compliments. As mentioned previously, this model is dedicated to you guys. Dfell, I used to study your Camel build for weeks. Don C, & Anders both of your models are outstanding! -Sky |
