Cheers Don
The wings were a part of the model I thought I'd do up as scale as I'm capable of. Not entirely consistent with the rest but oughta give me plenty of practice for future models.
I'll do that thread, rest assured, but as we're talking fittings, might as well include a pic or two here.
The internal wing bracing is not steel wire, instead I used a sort of braided nylon thread (dipped into silver paint) that I deliberately did not pull very taught (in the interest of wing warping).
The attachment points are simple bits made from 0.4 mm sheet aluminium and attached to the ply spar webbing with a small bolt (CA'ed in). The thread was also just CA'ed onto itself/ no crimping of metal tubes. No real attachment points at the anti-compression bars...just routed through.
Rather crude actually, but simple to make. (Bear in mind it's just the 'shine-through' effect with the transluscent covering I'm going for)
I'll also have to dissapoint you on the compass...wont' have an actual functioning one. I printed out the 'bamberg' compass photo you sent me to a corresponding size on photo paper.
I then tried to creat the illusion of an inset compass using a combination of painted ply, small bolts and PET-bottle plastic. Looks okay from a distance.
Sorry for the bad pics...somehow can't get the macro to work on the !#$ camera.
