Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
You're really not missing anything. It certainly wasn't a high point in the series......
Decals look great. I love that little one on the cowling. You must have a pretty good printer to have it print legibly at that size!

It's a Brother all-in-one which is extremely good, and very good value too.VickersVandal wrote:You're really not missing anything. It certainly wasn't a high point in the series......

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
The Camel suffered a nasty accident!
So it is being fixed up slowly.
I may not get this finished by the weekend.
cheers

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
The rear cabane strut now won't reach the locating point.
Now I have to find the undercarriage, which is in a "safe" place!

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
I managed to locate the safe place, and so here is a much more complete version of the kit
More rigging needed!

Unfortunately not. I've pranged the blighter!Sir T wrote:Fantastic Camels Andrew - Biggles would be proud!
Just the tail rigging to go, and I dropped it. Scrunch!
This can be salvaged, but I need to take the upper wing off and build new struts and cabanes.
Bad Show, but stiff upper lip and all that.

Tisk, tisk. That's what happens when Biggles lets Bertie take her for a spin......

That's a shame ! But note how the rigging tried to save it.

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East **Pranged the Ruddy Kite**
Ah... well I've heard of holding a stick between your knees but not a whole Camel! At least you stopped it hitting the floor.
Hard luck, but as you said, not important in the grand scheme of things - I'm when you do finish it you won't be able to see anything.
Great vid!
Cheers
