JakeEaton Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Out of interest, what are you going to do for the canopy framing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Mmmm I was so caught up on having it fitted I never gave the interior framing a thought, so in my wildest plans I plan to cut open the escape hatch and build it outside in with some plastic strip or if I could get away with it just paint it :analintruder: Graham.

AnonymousA667 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 The round bars are on the inside: Personally I wouldn't worry about it now, if you paint or decal the framing on you could apply gloss over the bits that should be internal so that it appears they are inside. peebeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeEaton Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 So the canopy has been stuck on?? Surely it's just on there for photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Nope the canopy is stuck on and blended in I thought it would be easier early on in the build, good photos peebeeb they certainly answer a few questions that were rattling around.

Smiffy Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Sheeet! This is your first vac kit? I was sure from looking at your build up, that you were an old hand at this form of witchcraft. Well, now I'm even more impressed. Bloody well done. BTW, I keep thinking about their 24th Lanc. (I've never done a vac......I have nowhere to put such a big beastie.......I know it'd probably sit in a corner unbuilt......but I can't help it.....I reeeaallly want!)

Graham Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Decals going on, they are really thin and bite down on the future coating so they need a little persuasion to get into the right place. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
