I still need alot of practice building the prop spinners. Mine look pretty sloppy compared to some of the others I've seen.

Don't worry too much about it. I have built at least 50 or 60, and only two or three have been "perfect". I ususally end up with glue all over everything. I came up with a technique for more pointed petal tips, but nothing for the gentle curves.

Here are some pictures of my Sopwith Camel. I don't know how accurate the rigging is. I looked at several different pictures and it looked like the rigging was a little bit different on a couple of them.

Nice work Abby! The Sopwith is a great subject. Have you done the Fly Baby bi-plane yet? It's pretty fun. Mine was horrible, but fun none the less. You should try the PT-17 too. That's a good one.

First of all, nice work on the Baby Avro (I hadn't seen the pics until now). Accurate or not, at least you had the courage to do the rigging on the Camel. Whenever I finish a biplane I tend to chicken out when it comes time to do the rigging.

I finished this one a few weeks ago. Not my best attempt, but it didn't turn out too bad.

Here is my build of the regular size Huckebein. I'm thinking about building the large version too.

Not the best picture, the flash is too bright.
