	Yep - they enlarge up but only the right 3/5 ths of the pic - very sharp focus on the blowup too ... great for scrutinizing with the eye ... LWM Richard

	Gee, I don't know about the photos Lastwoodsman, I just transfer them from my little camera to my PC. I didn't know they would do that!

	Thanks Stoney for the wonderful pics!! I see that the pics in Reply #8 to Reply #10 expand really large when you left "click" on them giving one great close up views. How do you do that? I have only one burning ambition in life now ... - to aspire to build a stick and tissue WW1 bipe with pilot and rigging and detailing , and get it to fly rubber powered just like yours, AND get good closeup pics in the air !!

	That is definitely a beauty - I need to learn to do rigging as cleanly as you have here...

	Beautiful Pup model...glad to hear she's trimming out well. Those short nose biplanes always seem to need a bit of ballast in the nose. Tom

	Roundels are tissue. I picked a color scheme that did not have a white surround to the roundels.

	I made the engine cylinders from flexible soda straws. The Pup is covered in Esaki paper with as little paint as I could get by with. Despite every attempt to keep the tail light she still needed a LOT of nose weight. I used buck shot under the cowling. Test glides and low power flights in the back yard are nice.

	Stoney - that is a great Sopwith Pup model - great brown color scheme, and realistic prop painting - and it looks ready to fly ... Love your choice of grayish aluminum silver colors for your engine - it makes your engine details really show up well. A real beauty! More pics please ... LWM Richard

	Thanks bigrip74. I just shot the prop with rattle can wood color and used artist acrylic tube paint with a wide brush and let her dry.
