Nice progress report Laurie, enjoying watching this come together. Nicely painted crew members too, I hope James Fred and Charles enjoy their new home.
 
All looking very good Laurie. I like your methodical way of working, I could learn a thing or two following that method.

Regards

Colin M..

No Joe. Not unless you part with some of your New Zealand dough. :D

Did not explain myself very well. This sometimes, no always, annoys Pauline my wife.

I thought next time for instance I mask and paint a cockpit cover I will film and edit and load onto this site. My occupation after retirement was producing wedding and corporate films for which I received a pittance.:eek:

But for you Joe it will be free. Probably boring but free. :oops:

Hope so Ian. Not really liked masking. But this time I ,yes, enjoyed it.

I would have used Blue Lining Tape but the roll I have is not wide enough to span between the frames. Pity as I think from use so far that the Blue Lining tape is better than Tamiya.

Started masking the u/s of the wings and the Blue Lining tape is a joy to work with . It is so much more flexible than Tamiya Type tape.

Gave me a wee chuckle Laurie, sorry for being a pest :) I reckon it will be an interesting video, so far your progress threads have been informative and interesting. Very useful for anyone else wishing to build this kit.

Have you decided how you are going to do the rigging?.When I do my 1/48 Walrus I will probably get some turnbuckles and thread fishing line between them.

Interesting question Dave. As it is a 1/72 think it will be to much (for me at least) to put turnbuckles on. What I hope to do, after experiment, is to place a small dot of super-glue on each attachment then build that up when fixing the rigging, Will be using that good old knicker elastic thread.

On the Swordfish I found out from a mechanic on the Naval Westland Lynx, which landed on the grass by our flats, that the rigging actually consisted of galvanised steel oval rods. The curator at the Yeolvilton Naval Museum gave me details about one inch by three quarters. Not sure what the Walrus is. How to find out ? Let you know if I can get details. There is one in a museum over here. Will get in touch and try to get the info.
