No worries. I won't be able to get there till early February.

I'll take the good camera.

Cheers

The hull blocks are rough cut out of recycled mahogany baseboards like the remainder of my 1/350 ships.

I removed the winding as it made the cylinder look to fat. Since this photo was taken I have removed the thin intake manifold and added a slightly thicker one.

Lou

Looking good Lou.

Gordon

Doing some major modifications.

Lou

Some major changes to the intake manifold. Forward rocker arm push rods in place.

The fuselage received some attention today. I carved the fuselage shape and then cut out the cockpit area plug. The plug was spit in two and carved to accept the cockpit parts.

Thank you Gordon.

Thank you Paul.

Looking at options for simulating the ribs. The Nieuport 11 had very thin wings and drawing do not show any dip between rib bays. I need to do some more looking at closeup photos. The first three ribs are masking tape and the next three are wax thread. These will be fared in with thicken paint. I am reluctant to sand the indents as they are very shallow.
