Paint & Frustration: I got this one mostly assembled yesterday. Today I painted the basic color, then added the black. Pfalz used cane strips to seal the fabric to the ribs, and painted them black. Though the E.I turned out okay, this one I just couldn't get right. Some stripes were too thin, some were too wide and some smeared. I finally took off all the ink (and some of the paint) with thinner, and went online and ordered some black striping decals. I thought of using decal stripes to represent the unpainted ribs that show through the fabric ages ago, but they don't make them in brown. I forgot all about it, and now I'm wishing I had got some black stripes for the E.I. At least this one and the E.III will have them.
Meanwhile I'm on hold until they come. I'm torn between starting another project or just working on rules for a few days.
