PEYSSON Gilles Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Good evening my friends and many thanks for your many messages. I'm sorry I've been away for the last couple of days. Tonight I'm going to show you the complete scratchbuilt pilot seat ; a lot of bending, welding and various adjustments. You'll see ....... In the end, I only kept the pilot's seat from the resin seat supplied by Azur. @ Mozart : thank you for explaining how to use MultiQuote Let's see the photos ..... Work on the two side panels. That's all for tonight and I hope you enjoyed it !!! Later in the week, I'll be showing you the brushwork on the instrument panel and centre console of the cockpit. Good night to all and see you soon .... Best Regards Gilles LSP_Kevin, mozart, LSP_Ray and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I watched a video recently about the start of a re-build of an MB 152 by Dassault which concentrated mainly on the seat. It looks like yours is going to be a very accurate replica. John Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Awesome detailing! Those French planes certainly had complicated seat designs, you pulled it off great from brass Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) Gilles - the metalworking on that seat is a thing of beauty. Wonderful to see. Edited January 26 by TheBaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Your work is excellent, and the pilot's seat is a work of art. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
