I folded the edges on either side and left the center piece alone to simulate attachment to the vertical support Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 08-Feb-16 13:18 Views : 346 The paper was cut along the sides bracketing the vertical support. Punched a few "lightening" holes, and painted overall flat black. I made sure to paint along the edges to avoid the white paper showing through. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 08-Feb-16 13:14 Views : 453 To simulate the brackets and rigging inside the cockpit, I first cut some pieces of paper that is also glossy on one side. Then matched it up with my intended cockpit wooden supports.

According to the BlueJacket catalogue, these two accessories are cast in "Britannia Metal." Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 07-Feb-16 14:44 Views : 444 This is the size "sheave" I ordered to be used to simulate the pulley system that can be seen through the triangular inspection window (I haven't gotten that far yet). Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 07-Feb-16 14:43 Views : 416 This is the latest pricing on both the sheaves (grooved pulley wheel), and turnbuckles as well as their different sizes. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 07-Feb-16 14:42 Views : 392 What we call the grooved wheel portion "pulleys," they're listed as "sheaves" in the BlueJacket catalog. I've also included turnbuckles, but they're too large for my scale. Still, for anyone working on a larger model, this is truly a cheap alternative. Special note: their turnbuckles are non-functioning. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Parked 07-Feb-16 14:39 Views : 447 For those who might be interested in obtaining another source of accessories: here are a few postings from Blue Jacket. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 06-Feb-16 19:02 Views : 385 The simulated "turnbuckles" can easily be made from small circular and tubular beads that are easily obtainable at almost all arts and crafts stores. It's just pinching the end of the thin half-round plastic strip to fit the beads and then glue t the end points. drilled out at the appropriate locations. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 06-Feb-16 18:56 Views : 356 As you can see, these half-found thin plastic strips offer near-airfoil shapes as the real steel cable rigging. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows Series 200 - SE5a Build 06-Feb-16 18:55 Views : 354 Rigging. Evergreen makes half-round thin strips that will serve as steel rigging on almost all biplanes made after the First World War. They are 14 1/4" in length and different sizes. These were chosen for the S.E. 5. Page (45 in total) :  <<   26   27   28   29   30  [ 31 ]  32   33   34   35   36   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
