Is she ever going to see the water? And, if so, are we going to get some video? Absolutely amazing!

Yes, well I've tried to stay faithful to the original model by using the same figure and the same parts for the headrest, The original does not have an instrument panel at all so thats just made up. Seems to work well. Have to paint the figure now. Hate figures.

Painting done, not the best but then I hate doing figures (I'm no good at it) Anyway, couple of pics in situ. Well thats it for Sky1, unless I think of anything else. On to the Diver and jet install.

It's looking good for sure. Is there a part you don't like to paint in particular, or is it the whole exercise of painting a figure?
