What a great model.
Such detail, such precision, such fun to follow. Really like all the photos. Thanks for showing them |

Thanks all my friends. I was sure you would enjoy the last two images.
It's very funny, Rich, I did the same as you, switching from one photo to the other and looking for differences (there are many, really, especially the two tv screen on the right, they're too small , but I don't have any intention to redo them... anyway)... Well, now, before to start with the ceiling, I have realized I was going to forget the last touch needed to complete the seats. I'm talking about the device you see in the first image, hanged on rear of both seats... (BTW anyone can help me understand what is its function? I suppose it's something involved in communications but don't know what exactly). As usual I used a spare copy to add some greebling to the surface. The liquid cristal digits are printed on glossy paper to simulate the displays. From a sample collection swab I took a little 1 mm stick, painted it black and cut to realize the knobs. The black/yellow alert panels on the sides are made of thin paper. I'm not sure if they are placed only on ground or if they are used during operations too. In all the photo I saw they are always present so I'll put them up. Now seats are REALLY finished and so the lower cabin. See you soon with "The Ceiling part one!" |

Hi friends, time to look up to the... ceiling
The upper windows are made on 3 layers. The middle one act as a reinforcement for the entire aft ceiling section to give it more strenght. In the close-up image the multi-layered window frame is better seen. Then I realized the 7 pouches containing the escape cables to be used in case of an emergency bail-out. After assembling the bags I made some wrinkles to give them a more realistic "fabric feeling". In the photo 5 and 6 you can see the many details - velcro patches included - obtained from a supplemental copy of the part to give some "movement" to the ceiling surface. ...but before completing the structure I have to think to a way to enlighten the cabin. We need some LIGHTS! I started with the aft side lamps. The frosted glass plate was simulated with a piece of tracing paper who is semi-transparent and will diffuse led light (I hope). The thin slot in my intention should have simulated the fluorescent tube once the led was placed behind. Unfortunately I had to enlarge the aperture because I realized there isn't enough room to place the led bulb all behind the lamp. In the last images you see the completed lamp and the backlight test. |

Thanks Kurt! I'm sure it will be, just like your locomotive!
Let's continue with aft ceiling. The central lamp has a cylindrical shape and is realized with another piece of tracing paper. Adding the front section gives the right angle to the completed back section. On the upper side I doubled all the surfaces to give some additional strenght to the whole structure. And now, after a long pause, it's time to do some other panel-work. This O18 is a little sampler before going to do the hard work on the front section. In the photo #6 you see the completed O16 in place. And, finally, in the last images, the completed aft ceiling section with all the details in place. I couldn't resist to place it on the lower cabin to take a shot of the almost completed thing. Very nice!!! |

Very nice doesn't begin to describe the hundreds (thousands?) of hours you've put into this project and the results you've obtained Tonino. Once you are done I know I'll be really impressed if for no other reason than you stuck it out to the end...
