bigbadbadge Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Thanks Guys I am attempting to replicate the front seat and have built the mount/bulkhead it sits in and am experimenting making the seat also. I have asked for some piccies of where it meets the rear bulkhead in the front cockpit and if anyone is able to help that would be brilliant.

galgos Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Chris, if you look on the Reference thread series of pics that I've posted, scroll to the one of the anti-spin strakes then look at the one after it (Kevin's least restored Moth), that's the front seat area you're looking for. I'll check my other pics tomorrow morning for better ones. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Cheers Max I saw that one and have been using as reference, but was wondering if anyone had one that showed what it was like finished and also the recess for the seat belt anchorage points.

galgos Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 This one any better Chris? Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Wow Thanks Max that is perfect. Is the upper bulkhead also flush with the edge like the rear also ? Thanks for the picky, I will remake the part now. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yes Chris, all flush. Glad the picture's what you want. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yes thanks Max, I have made the Seat and the mount it is drying at the moment so I have come down again. It is a bit of a compromise and I think I may have to compromise on the bulkhead too unless it is the fuselage that needs to be trimmed. Will have to do some fettling anyway. The front seat looks as though it covers the foot pedals for the rear so might leave those out, not sure yet. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi all Finally able to post some images I have been doing some more work, first up is the front seat scratch built from plasticard, needs finishing off. ​ Also been re doing the compass mounts on the instrument panels and turned a couple of compasses from srue. And worked o the rear bulkheads. ​ ​ ​ Added a couple of levers, ignore the part of the linkage attached to rear lever as I removed this Fitted seats and connecting rods between levers, I have made two slots for the rods to run though the front seat mount. ​ ​ A lick of paint on the Instrument panels ​ Thanks for looking All the bestChris​ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks Guys for your Kind comments, got the photos on viaPhotobucket in the end, however it seems to have started since I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 where I had no issues before. It still is a bit hit and miss with my text disappearing sometimes when I hit the add reply button. when posting this reply it disappeared and stated I must enter a Post !!! Thanks again guys All the bestChris​ ​ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi Paul I have measured the seat. ​ Hope this helps. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 No worries Paul. I did try and PM you, but this again is hit and miss for me at the moment. You will need to fettle it a bit I am sure as I did as the fuselage bows ever so slightly. All the best Chris​ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi all Further work on the Instrument panels, used combination of kit decals and Airscale Decals. Had to cut a lot of film away from the Kit Decals. Both types settled very well with Microsol. Added some old Reheat Bezels, the carpet monster got a few so an alternative for one of the larger gauges and home made ones for the smallest gauges, made from a strand of copper wire. ​ Gloss varnish added to simulate the lenses and matt varnish for the rest of the IP, still drying in this image. ​ ​ Just got to paint the grey on the compasses and they will then be added. Thanks for looking All the bestChris​ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Good work Chris! It's easy enough doing one IP, but matching the dial positions on the second one is a bit more challenging isn't it? Yours look spot on. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Thanks Max. I must admit it was a bit challenging, especially when the carpet monster ate three of the Bezels I needed and had none left, though using the strand of wire turned out okay. I can't wait to get the compasses mounted tonight!!! All the bestChris​ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi all Been doing a bit more, I have been adding to the front seat to make it look a bit more correct, seat is currently drying, once dry will be able to file down to look more prototypical hopefully ​ Also have added the compasses to the instrument panels, they are okay I suppose, although they stick out a bit far, they were the smallest compass decals I could find in my collection so will have to do. ​ Thank you for looking All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtpaul Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Cracker effort there Chris. I've got some Airscale decals and bezels for mine when I do it. I'll be stoked if mine is half as good as yours. And I really love your front seat. Definitely looks the part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Absolutely nothing wrong with those compasses Chris, they look spot-on and, like your front seat, are a great improvement on the original Revell offering. Well done. :) Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
