Close up of some of the detailing. The thin lines were from 1/64th chart tape and the "O" hatches were from the letter "O's" from rub off transfer letters. |

For those who wish to stroll down memories lane, this model of the Swordfish was built in 1984. Had a 5 foot wingspan and scratched out fro Bob Holman's Plans |

Here's a close up of what I used for simulating the rigging and turnbuckles for the cockpit interior. I tied a small knot at the end of silver-colored thread being used as wiring, so as to keep the small tubing from slipping off. I then glued a tiny brass bread to the end of my (now) turnbuckle. Cut off the excess thread, leave the knot in place and glue the knot onto the framework, making sure that it lines up with the direction of the wiring. |

Vertical supports were wood stained, glued into place. Turnbuckles were made from small brass tubing cut to size and a small bead was added to top. All glued into place. |
