Now that we have the pilot bottom half secured in place, i can now carry on with the decking that surrounds the pilot. Once this is in place i can fix the dash and add loads more scratch built instruments and gadgets. Stay tuned for some more scratching fun.

More work on the office. Stick together 2 pieced of balsa as a base and laminate, cut out and trim the edges to protect it.

Well its been a while since my last post. Has a little set back. Not being too happy with the finish on the pilots trousers i decided to pick something up while getting a few bits from the model shop. I saw something that caught my eye... Tamiya Flat Base a sort of clear like varnish.

I inquired and asked if this is painted over the finished job to give it that flat look. Yes came the reply from both of them behind the counter. Well i got home and thought lets give it a coat or two and admire the finished result. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how wrong they were. the whole piece that i had lovingly painted and shaded with the airbrush was now drying chalky white all over. I will have something to say when i go back next time. Endless to say i had to totally repaint the whole section, boots and all. Wasn't easy as it was fixed in place and was like painting through a key hole.

With this done again for the second time i progressed further with the office, making and adding more clocks and some leavers.

Now, I'm not quite sure what this next bit is so i have snapped it in the picture. It has a winding handle on the outside of the plane.

Cheers

Andy
