SPA Modeler

Well, it's not the last build of 2021... but it is the first completion of 2022...
so good one for you!

That is a lovely build Stuart!

Thanks Gents - much appreciated! I will get some photos up but I might redo the antenna wire first. I tried stretched sprue for the first time but I'm not 100% happy with it, I think it's too thick. I'll replace it with my usual elastic thread.

Well done, Stuart.

That turned out pretty dang good Stuart!!! My hat goes off to you on a job well done on such a small build.

On that stretched sprue note, I wasn't all that good at it starting out at it a few years back so I decided to work on my "weakness" with it and dedicated one "modeling session" hour to it. It took me numerous attempts using ALOT of spare sprue that I had laying around and finally I got it. When I was happy with the results I made sure to repeat those results around 10 times till I had my method all down pat. It's the only way I go now in regards to rigging.

I've done the same thing as Joe did. I too it a bit further in that I chose the best lengths I'd stretched and snipped them to a good length and now have them stored in a pencil-box-type container for use later on.

That's a good looking Zero. I've built that kit, it was actually a fun little kit to build.
