[WWI] stick and tissue construction

[Douglas Anderson]

I can think of one disadvantage, the misses watching a chick movie, crying, reaching for a tissue only to discover it is now a Wright Flyer. Me thinks she might get a tad irritated. That, and of course, putting your fingers through a nicely finished model

  instead he's used see-through plastic at least once. Tom Morgan and Sanjeev have done shadow shading I think.
  Sometime in my life I want to build a Wright flyer, the ultimate record-breaker, and it would 
  be easier to do it like this than use the "modern" methods.
  What are the disadvantages of this method?

  PS. I forgot to say, I think Eddie Banham models are terrifc.

  Looking at Ed´s superb models, I realized he uses the time honored stick and tissue construction. Back in the old days when plastic kits weren´t available, static models used to be built from plans using balsa wood and japanese tissue, trying to reproduce the real plane structure which would be visible through the covering. Cleveland plans were the best ones in the market, although rather expensive at the time.
