A little work done today: Some detail added to the starboard console

Per my references, there are some sizable braided sheath cables that enter this console. I tried some 0.040 diameter solder -it was too big. I ended up using 0.023 diameter copper.

To mimic the braid, I laid a good file at 45 degrees to the wire. Pressing down hard, I rolled the wire under the file .

It's tough to see in this photo, but I got some decent, but subtle texture on the wire. I then filled the file to 45 degrees in the opposite direction. Once installed, it looks like this. I'll give the wires a silver metallic finish, the a wash to show detail.

I think it's time to remove the fuselage half and tape the port side in place.

Great work, so far, Bill! Good to see someone who's not afraid to tackle this beast. I've got one, but I am afraid of it!

Thanks, Kevin. It's really not too bad so far - bit I'm not looking forward to the engine to exhaust collector ring tubes!
