That's a real shame Theuns, your Tiggie was looking really good. Is it rescuable from the trash? It helps sometimes to just put it aside for a while then return to it with fresh eyes/outlook; hopefully that's the case.

With Mike on this, hope you can retrieve it, it was looking so good. Even without rigging it would have made a nice model on the shelf.

Not the way I trashed it! lol

I will get another one later

That's a sad news, I was liking it.

Next one will be better.

Thats a real shame Theuns , also a bit of a worry - Ive just got one of these!!! I must admit rigging isnt my favourite thing either!!

That's a real shame as it was looking very nice. rigging can be very frustrating at the best of times I've had a few battles myself.I still have a few in the stash to do I have all the reverent tools and materials for the rigging but know its going to be a test of my patience and karma so until my mind is in the right place I won't tackle them good luck with your next attempt

I will be ordering some 0.3mm drils soon and I am sure that will solve my problem

We should have a rig-off next year

 

[Guest]

If there is noe thing that really ticks me off it is when a model gets the better of me ....


So I got another onr of these kits and hopefully this time it wil go better


The fuse is all buttoned up, now I need to paint the wings seperately before putting onto the fuse.

Well done that man. Grab it by the bits and tell it who's boss.

 

[Guest]

The one lower wing I see now is slightly warped and this has the rear interplane strut 1/2mm short. I will have to somehow glue it in with superglue or something as the point is so thin that cement might make it even shorter. I just do not have luck with 1/72 tigers LOL.
