Good to have you back online Barry,
The wing covering has come to an abrupt halt as I’ve run out of natural Solartex, I didn’t think that it would take more than the 2 rolls but I’ve still got one complete wing to cover and also the top surface of another.
While I wait for the Solartex to arrive I’ve made a start on the Lewis gun. The stock will be made from layers of ply, as the shapes are quite complex I’ve used 2 laminations of 1/32nd ply for each layer to make the cutting easier but it’s still quite a delicate job. The trigger is from thin brass sheet.
With the various pieces glued together and a simple barrel from rolled paper and various bits of tubing it’s starting to take on the semblance of a Lewis.
I’m still searching for something to form the basis of the magazine
