Hi thanks for the comment.
That's a considerable idea.
I thought if I put a micro camera inside the cockpit and receive the video picture on my tablet.
Then I've checked the retail price of one of those device and I quickly gave that idea up. X(




Today, I've just come up with an idea for the interior wall.
It's nothing big but I like to try next time.

Thank you!

A fewprogress of the interior work on lowerdeck.
I've tried to use the stylo board for the wall to make it
like a cushion wall. I used some food tray.

























I used a double sided glue tape or super glue. I will apply some surface coating before I paint.

Thanks for looking.

Katsu-san,

What coating are you going to put on the foam so it doesn't melt.

Did you do a test piece first or have you used this material before.

I love the interior walls, just brilliant my friend, i might steel this idea for my seat in the MK2

Hi, Gag-san.

Thanks for the comment.
I'm going use a hair spray to coat that material.
Once, I used this way to make a shape with hard stylofoam and car filler.
I sprayed a hair spray on the stylo foam and apply car filler.
It wasn't harmed.

All the best,,

Katsu-san,

I love the idea of using the foam for the walls. Reminds me a bit of the interior of the Millennium Falcon.

Yet again, you never fail to show us interesting and simple ways to solve a problem, ha!

Thank you for your comment.
I've just remember when I made a ship hull with a hard stylo foam and car filler.
I've just happened to find a cheap hair spray is perfect coat to protect the stylo foam from melting.
So, I thought it may good for painting.
It's just a little thing but if it will be something for your further build, I'll be happy.

Incredible work... I find myself staring at the pictures in awe. I think its fascinating that you used the offset function on the RADAR display.
