Hard to stay positive about my own modest abilities

after seeing those builds. Fantastic stuff, but I struggle to keep motivated after seeing pics like that. Thanks for posting anyway.

Hey!

Who're you building for?
You or You?

I have to Agree with Jamo. Yes the FUn is in the prep and building and,.. etc. etc. BUT LOOK MA !!! He has Turnbuckes For crying out loud on the the rigging ?!!! ANd the Underside of the Elevator is even weathered with "streaked Castor Oil" ? The Cockpit area is washed so the seam details come out !!! I feel like crying Its so real and Life like remebering the wing span of this kit is a mere 6 or so inches !!! The Rib tapes are even darkened so the RIb detail shows through !! These are SO Good you'd expect them to be straight off Eduards Web Pages!!! SO I hear Ya my Brother when you say "its hard to keep your motivation Up" After seeing perfection its hard to aspire any highter ? !! FUN OR NO FUN ! But one can dream !

Speaking of which please enlighten us mere mortals which method you used for those "turnbuckles" ? You YOu Model Master GOD YOU !!!
