[WWI] Help needed re scale depiction of wing ribs

[Jim Landon]

On the Flckr web site listed below I have posted photos that show my research into how wing rib caps, fabric valleys, rib stitches and rib tapes should be represented on wwi models.
 
It seems to me that most wwi modelers attempt to make cockpit details, engine details, gun details, props, paint schemes, markings etc. as accurate as humanly possible, but tend to neglect wing surface details.
 
I submit that the same attention to detail should be applied to wing surface detail.
 
I'd like to know what you all think about this. You can easily post comments on the Flickr site (and I'm anxious to see if I get the promised emails from Flickr when people post comments). And of course if you prefer you can post comments here on the list. Or both places.
 
There are also new photos of the lower wing of my 1:48 Eduard Nieuport 11 where I am attempting to apply my research. I need help to find a better way to depict the rib caps (not rib tapes).
 
I am also experimenting with ways to make teeney-weeney stitches and suggestions are VERY welcome.
 
TIA
 
Jim

<<Flickr is quite good as well.>> Thanks Diego old buddy old pal. When I went there to check it out I found that I was already a member. !!?? Then I slowly remembered that I had to sign up one time long ago when a classmate posted high school reunion photos on Flickr. So I posted 11 OT photos and I'm now a Flickr fan. Everybody please try this link and let me know if you get in without registering (I chose the "public" option). And please comment on the pix either there or here. http://www.flickr.com/gp/14279793@N06/u2rE9W Jim> From: dfernet0 at rosario.gov.ar> To: wwi at wwi-models.org> Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2008 14:47:07 -0300> Subject: Re: [WWI] Attaching pix to posts (was: New models postes)> > > I'll look into "shutterbug".
