Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 9, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 9, 2013 Ez Line rigging? I think we can safely assume the EZ has no connotation to the word Easy.
Dave J Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 I think we can safely assume the EZ has no connotation to the word Easy. My favorite is the "will it hold? will it hold" and then SNAP! and the frantic, expletive-fueled rush to keep the line from gluing itself to itself or to the plane somewhere. Are you guys using CA Accelerator too?
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 10, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 10, 2013 I use CA accelerator in a touch-n-flow. But often get lazy. My name is Jeroen Peters and I'm a user of CA accelerator. One thing I've noticed though is that the bond is stronger without the accelerator. The accelerator makes it britle. 3
Jeroenveen1 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Euro 550 and a bit for the Catalina doesn't suit my wallet but boy, would I like to build one…. great job Jeroen, enjoying every bit of this! Cheers, Jeroen 1

It took me a while to decide due to the price, plus it didn't help having Mr Hatch egging you on to buy it! 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 20, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 20, 2013 Hi Guys and fellow minions, aaaaaalmost finished the Ninak. :Last rigging. A few more touches here and there. 2
Grant Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Are you using EZ Line? I've just brought in a load of (much cheaper alternative) 0.50mm stretch thread in black as well as in white which is just as good - the Prym brand with will retail at £2.50 for a 200 mtrs reel. In fact it's the same stuff that arrived when I ordered some WnW's "branded thread" and was surprised at to what I received for my money! Both take paint well as, of course, CA for those who can't leave it alone.

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 21, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 21, 2013 Almost done!
Administrators James H Posted July 21, 2013 Administrators Posted July 21, 2013 Shit, that looks awesome! Your rather un-manly colour of background actually shows the colours real well. I love that PC10 finish....doesn't even look dusty like my DH.2
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 21, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 21, 2013 Thnx James, Grant, as you can see this kit is 'well hung'. The HGW PE really makes a difference...
Jeroenveen1 Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Beautiful Jeroen... That paintwork really is something to be proud of! Hats off to you!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 27, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 27, 2013 Thx Jeroen! Aaaalmost done. Just need to add 4 more Gaspatch buckles coming form the cowling. Then a few washes here and there and some scratches. I really wanna finish this thing before James fixes his laptop...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 27, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 27, 2013 Rigging done!! Bit of weahtering and done. Just before Jim fixes his puter.
Grant Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Brilliant Jeroen and you're absolutely right! The HGW PE makes a huge amount of difference. The sharpness of detail that PE brings is completely unmatched by anything from plastic, as a returnee to the hobby ... I think that photo-etch is THE greatest innovation for the last 20 or so years. I love what you've done with this mate ... I've got one in stock in case anyone wants to have a go too 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 27, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 27, 2013 Thnx Grant! Oh! And the Gaspatch buckles are from www.arrow-wolf.com too. These just can't be beat... 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 27, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 27, 2013 Fitting the base and medal. No Erik.... The base is NOT too small. Geeeezzz...
Dennis.E Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 A beautiful project Jeroen - You must have the patience of a saint, I have never tried a WW1 project primarily due to all that nightmarish rigging, to which I can only admire in your project. Well done!
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted July 28, 2013 Author Administrators Posted July 28, 2013 Thnx Guys! And now it's time to call this one.. Done! I'll make some better photo's as soon as I can. This was a joy to build. Excellent model and excellent HGW upgrade. A little birdie told me you can get one from www.arrow-wolf.com Cheers, Jeroen 1
