Thanks again everyone....

 

You ask how many hours I have put into this Ted?..too many probably!....I have thought of continuing down the fuselage but I would like to take a break from the B17...I have other projects I would like to have a go at first....but might return to the Fortress and do the next section one day! ;)

 

Cheers

This work is beyond incredible.  

 

The attention to the most minute of details is beyond comprehension.  A true masterpiece.  A true work of art.

 

 

 

 

Thank you for sharing your progress and even your problems.

Afternoon everyone!

Okay then...I have managed to scratch build the seat frames for the time being...the actual seats will be built and fitted later this week....with a bit of luck of course ;)

After studying the real seat frames I got some scrap plastic together and had a go.......................

I am now going to light my gas burner to anneal a coca cola can to make it easier to mould the seats....well that's the plan...it might not work of course!! unsure.png ...we shall see!

 

See you on the next post

 

Thanks for looking in smile.png
