If I could ever finish painting the grandfather clock I’m working on, and assemble it, then I could focus on my models full time again.![]()
You know we're gonna wanna see photos of this clock, right?

Thanks! It’s in the garage and we’ve been getting a lot of rain lately, so not exactly great painting weather. But I should finish the painting in the next week.That's beautiful! Can't wait it see it finished. All those 1/72 kits will make a nice carrot to get the job done!
On my short list for WW1 aircraft is:I didn't see a Fokker D. VIII (also called Fokker E.5)
Or, there is always the big bombers like the Gotha.![]()
Thank you. No cables are typically provided with the kits. I use EZline for the cables. I drill tiny pilot holes to super glue the ends of the EZline. It stretches so you can tension it and glue with CA and it stays tight.That's looking great! Does it have actual cables, or molded plastic representations? And where do they attach? I see no holes.
Another nice paint job, Dean. It would be nice to show the steps of adding the EZlines.Update on the Spad XIII build…
The wheel assembly, exhaust and propeller was added, the bottom painted and all the decals added and clear coated for the fuselage and lower wing.

Next will be painting the upper wing and adding decals and clear coat. Then finally will be painting all the struts and attaching the upper wing and adding all of the cables. This one has a lot of cables…sigh.
See ya next time…
Thanks Peter…will do.Another nice paint job, Dean. It would be nice to show the steps of adding the EZlines.

Yes, it’s the best thing to use on WW1 aircraft.I had never heard of EZLine and had to look it up. What a great product!
Thank you!Just a few the Dean
Very nice. And superb detail.

Thank you Daniel!You're the master of the miniature Dean. Seeing your planes without a size reference makes them appear much bigger than they are when you have them in your hand.
