Well Ron,
1) Excellent work. I wish my photography could come out as clear. 2) I don't think it is a big deal on the seat belts. It gives the appearance that the belts are threaded through the "holes" in the seat to secure them. And, it doesn't matter if the belts are a little short in appearance, it just means the pilot has to adjust them when he gets in! Lovely work

Yes. The pilot's seat looks fine and in the context of that beautifully-crafted interior no one would ever figure out that it's inside out. Don

Hey Ron,
I'm in with Ray and Don; this cockpit is beautifully constructed and the only way anyone's going to know (looking at the finished model) about that seatback is if you tell them! Super work; looking forward to seeing more. Wyvern |

Thanks guys I guess a different perspective was needed. Ray, those pics are really easy to take. Here's what I did....
1. Bought a cheap camera from the local pawn shop to replace the expensive one I *lost* that never took good pics anyways (Canon powershot a720 for 70.00) 2. Turn off the flash and switch it to macro mode 3. Point the worklamp straight at whatever you're working on. That's it If I ( the world's worst photographer according to my wife) can do it....oh, the room light on helps too. More tonight if I can get it together. Thanks for the encouragement! Ron

Oh the horror...the horror
Oh the horror....the horror
I'm kidding The little tiny pieces that simulate ribs in the cockpit interior had to all be cut out individually. I tried to cut out the printed lattice but no way was that going to work for me. I got a little fed up of painting the edges and gluing down what I had so I wandered off track onto the bigger stuff. I didn't want to be hiding my own Easter eggs by the time I finished the fiddly stuff! It's nice to get a peek at what the general shape of the fuselage is going to look like so I put together a few of the segments. The wood grain on this model is perfect! Marek really outdid himself on this kit. I hope I can come close to making it work. All I can say is thank God I can look at Peter's build as well!! Night all Ron

That is some really fine precision work, Ron. The fuselage sections in that natural wood color and with the very clean construction are a treat for the eye.

You guys are way too kind but thank you. I needed that after this morning's little adventure. I was reading about the endless debate of butt joint vs. joining strip and decided to try butt joints for the umpteenth time. What a mistake! I've been converting everything to joining strip since 2004 and my 2nd day of paper modeling. If you have a conical section, how do you get the larger former in correctly? I tried bevelling the edges, sanding etc. To make the formers I cut them out as precisely as possible, turned them face to face and tacked them together. Then they were sanded together as a pair. Did it ever look like CR*P by the time I actually got it to fit. I'm going back to the strips wherever I can. If you guys have a solution, please, let me know I need it! This pic I hope will show what I'm mumbling about
Ron
