Found an old digital camera when cleaning up some stuff the other day. Thought it may be better than my phone pics!
Here are a couple of kits that are hard to get decent pictures of since they are shiny and there is no way I could have got those wires in focus with my phone.
The other nice part is that the camera is so old and the resolution so low I don't have to reduce the file size like I did with the phone ones.

So now with better pictures. Ladies (who am I kidding) and Gentleman. More Seiran.

What a beautiful fit for the wings.

Be a shame if...

Somebody came and ...

CUT THEM OFF!

On those bi-wing planes, were those wires part of the kit, or did you make those from scratch like you did with the folding mechanism thingamajigger on the seiran?

The wires are added by me. They are a model railroad product called EZ Line. Sort of a stretchy thread that they use for telephone/telegraph lines on train set ups. It is really nice since it allows you to pull it tight but it maintains enough give to not put pressure on the glue joint or twist the wings. It is also much closer to scale size than using thread or fishing line like I used to use.

I can see it home, probably not at work, for what that matters. Lots of places block file/photo sharing sites.

Well I didn't want to keep loading photos directly to this site since they take up space.
Better see if I can see them at work tomorrow before I go too far.

I will just have to do all my updates from home I guess. Shame since Google photos is really easy to use and share.

What's that saying..... "If life was ever that easy.." BTW, I couldn't see the photo. If it was a photo of you butchering another Airfix model then best not seen...
