Boy,its amazing how difficult it can be to get back in the swing of things.After these past months of being away from the modeling of Jenny ,I am having a hard time figuring out just where I left off and where to begin again.I have so many things going, in various stages ,its hard to keep all the parts and sequence of build located in my head.The sequence of build is critical as many areas become inaccessable once the airplane is rigged.In order to save myself the same problem when I go back to finishing the hangar, I left myself notes on the various parts.Jeez I must be getting old but then again this has been the biggest project I have ever attempted.
I figure that the best thing I can do right now is check that Jenny is sitting corrrectly in her jig,line everything up and dive in and finish the wing rigging.Then will come the rigging of the controls and the installation of the control surfaces.Next will be to get her standing on her wheels and tailskid and prepared for installation in the hangar.I havent yet decided on just what work will be underway in this scene or whether she will be sitting on the tailskid or raised to flight position as in my other dioramas.
