Thanks guys for your kind words. Well i went to see my mate Paul at Mikes Models today and picked up the missing parts i needed for the rigging. When i got home i completed the rigging and only have the aileron links to make. I took some picks of the finished rigging job, hope you can make it out ok.

Well guys its been 20 months since i started this tribute build to 'The Old Dutch', its been a long and slow build and ive loved every minute of it. A project that i will look at and love for the rest of my days for everything it stands for and for all the love and effection that i have poured into it as i ventured along the journey. Im now proud to say that it is finally complete. I would like to thank you all for following me through this build and for all your kind words along the way. Your contributions to this thread have been fantastic and have helped and inspired the build.

Thank You All from me and 'The Old Dutch'.

A glimps over the old girl until the time i set her up for a proper photo shoot and maybe a video. These will come and i will post them here when the time comes.

Andy she's gorgeous ...... you can see the sheer love and determination thats gone into this..

I have no problem in saying that i have a tear in my eye as i write this coz i feel your pride just from the short piece you wrote above.

hoping not to be too familiar but "Duchess ... look what your Andy can do"

[papa 695]

Andy you have done the dutches proud. A stunning build in every way, and a loving memorial to the Dutches herself. I for one feel honoured that you have let me see and be a part of your tribute to the Mother you truly loved and miss Best wishes mate

 

[spanner570]

Andy, for you not so much a build, but one incredible journey for ( and for all we knows, with) your mum......

There can be fewer better personal memorials to one individual than this, and it's been a pleasure to follow.

Very well done.

John,

This thread has been very much a part of this build tribute and its postings from everyone is as important to me as the build itself and unlike other builds i have completed, i want to cherish this in a book form and keep it alongside The Old Dutch in the workshop where it belongs. Is there some way that i can copy it and print it out.

Your assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy
