Another Camel update (Pt4)

I started on the fuselage rigging today. It pushed my blood pressure through the roof!! I speak two languages and I think I used just about every swear word in my repertoire including a couple that a Greek friend taught me a couple of years ago. At the end, my wife asked if I needed the dictionary to check if I had left any potential words out. Still, I think it was worth the stress ;D

My lads, when they were young, used to leave Airfix Paint and glue all over my Dining Room Table.... >:(...!

Paul... ;)... ;)... ;D...!

P.S The Metropolitan Police have got a hit in that finger-print!.... :o... :o...!

The posh dinning room table is actually my expensive slate pool table that my wife like to have covered looking like a posh dinner table >:(

As for the finger print.................I did not say it was my finger ;D

Are you doing this work with any kind of magnifying device, or just straining your poor eyes?  :o

Incredible work!

I've been following your progress. That is one very nice model. I too have one of those multi purpose pool tables. I'd be lost without it.  ;D

[color=#000000]Dang Matt! I was thinking about asking if those turnbuckles actually work, but then I saw the 3rd shot. You have a lot more patience than I. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Oh, come on... those aren't even real turnbuckles! No tiny swages, or thimbles... I don't see what the big deal is...

;)

Reminds me of a plastic model of the Cutty Sark I built as a kid... almost went insane doing the rigging.  :D
