Hi to everyone  :)


This update shows some of the detail I have done on the pilots side wall.....as like the other side wall the detail is only up to the back of the seats (which I am yet to think about scratching....gonna be a toughy that one!!!)


The first photo shows all the bits and bobs that were on the pilots side wall...from suit heaters to the oxygen regulator......its about 2 days worth of scratch building.............

I tried to get a close up of the panel light bulb I made which shows you the stupid lengths I go to for realism!! rolleyes.gif ...I got a clear plastic cocktail stirrer and put it very briefly under a lit candle  to get the shape of the bulb!.............

This next photo shows how I make the oxygen hoses....very thin fuse wire wrapped around a length of wire..............

Once again that's all for now.

 

Coming up next is the central  control box in front of the IP which houses the throttles...this might take some time so wont be around for a bit!!!! wink.png

 

Thanks again for taking the time out to look at all this....

Amazing!

This would already be great to get this kind of results from a kit ... but from a SB project, this is really impressive... not even talking about the raw material you are using!

Superlative work Foz'
