I have a modelling room and was promised even more space when the kids left home - never happened, Grand children came along and the rest is history.
I still yearn for the 22ft x 10ft space that was once promised, model railways and everything imaginable.
Such things are dreams made of.

Yes, I looked at various options, Albion alloys make some, they still sound like hard work and a bit over scale.

Nice, I did think about turnbuckles, but they seemed very small in 1/48. well done for having a go. I have a Tabloid to build.
Turnbuckles now there's a thought, never mind double rigged landing wires.

I dry brushed a lighter colour and then rigged with nichrome wire of the correct scale diameter - see earlier.
Here we are rigged, well almost!

The Sopwith Schneider was the forerunner to the Sopwith Baby.
In 1914 a Sopwith Tabloid seaplane won the second Schneider trophy.
The RNAS ordered 160 of these at the start of the war.
The originals used wing warping, later ailerons were added and the engines were uprated.
They were used on anti-submarine patrols and against Zeppelins, some were used on ships.
Photos before rigging.

I'll have a stake - through the heart. ( I would really prefer a steak!)
