[WWI] Help needed re scale depiction of wing ribs

[wed317]

 "Along time ago, I tried to accurately detail the cockpits and wheel wells
of my models.  What I ended up with was a pile of reference materials, a lot
of bits and pieces and by the time I got the fuselage together, I had lost
interest in the project, and nothing got finished for about 5 years.  Part
of this madness was because I was trying to build to some one else's
standards and for contest judges, not for me.  "
 
This (AMS) is a large part of my problem, except the part about contest
judges, I could care less about that since the chances of me getting to go
to a contest are slim and none. ( I think a lot of modelers end up like this
because of all the great kits we see completed on internet message boards,
etc.) However I see what Alberto Casirati did with a Nie.17, and am
inspired. He is not a super hero, and if he can do 1/72nd interiors as he
does, why can't I? There are others whose 1/72nd interiors come to mind, but
I will not mention them for fear of leaving someone out and offending part
of the list and get called out for being mean. I have started my Eduard
Nieuport over three times, not because it is a dog, it is not. It is a great
kit, but I keep "experimenting" on it.   I cannot say that all of the
experiments have been fun, but I have learned a lot, especially about what
does and does not work for me. I could care less if my kit meets the
expectations of an academic argument over what is or is not right to depict
on a scale kit. In the end it will end up on my shelf, hopefully with
company, and only has to make me happy. Thanks John for your usual,
well-reasoned response.
