some work done lately
I've been working on the alternate static control thats down on the left wall next to the pilots leg.

this was a challenge as it involved a curved insert into the wall.
first I made the mold


then melted a layer of plastic with the heat gun and squashed it into shape


then added a little weight while it cooled


and there is the basic shape


while waiting I cut out the hole in the pit wall


after cutting out the final shape "carefully" and giving it a few layers of paint it's starting to look the goods


added some screws and a lever made from mdf and gloss red marine paint


and there you have it - a lot of work that doesn't look much but will look better once the carpet etc is added



this is the first attempt at the signage but I may have to have another try at this as I'm not really pleased with this result. also the shakey photography doesn't help

Tahk about attention to detail!!!!!!

THANKS for sharing that kind of work.... an inspiration to us all.

best,
