Re: 1/2 studio scale Offworld Blimp - MOVING AHEAD!
The Subaru has a rubberized mat in the back, too... nothing slides even if it's "free range"... it's pretty cool.
The clearance is generous around the equator/antennas, so I don't have to worry about them getting bent on seats (which amazingly can stay upright), or the sides/back glass. And the best part is, when I hand this particular one off to the client, he gets the MDF for HIS Outback and it will be perfect.
The original client's blimp gets a special crate made by a third party, since it has to be shipped. I leave that kind of delicate work (and liability) to professionals.
Mine stays here. I'll be buried with it, which will happen sooner than later, since I think building THREE of these will most definitely kill me. But seriously, the next two will be MUCH MUCH faster, now that I have "kicked the tires" already.
