COCKPIT CHAIRS With not even a thumbnail to guide me, this really was a make-it-up-as-you-go-along affair, guided by a vague image in my head and a sense of what looks ok and what looks wrong, I started slicing up the Foamex.
|
|
Basic shapes come together very quickly with Foamex - a wonder substance. | |
You can see my pencil scribbles where I intended to do something |
|
a recessed back was an idea | |
This idea of a recessed back was superceeded with an idea to stick bits on instead. If I find a really nice bit, I think "I gotta use that!" |
|
Headrests I have to look at next, if you look right, you can see what I did. | |
Happy with those. |
|
although not really seen, I make some linings for the chairs from EMA tube. presumably individually inflatable sections to each pilots own specs. | |
Recessed arm rests work I think |
|
Something is still missing IMHO (eyes right) | |
You can see the difference those discs make |
|
First coat of paint, the plastic primer | |
similar dressing, but handed. |
|
A nice job to be working on. | |
