Despite the modelling gods throwing me a curve ball I achieved a fair bit today!!
My Sky system went down big style last evening. Then Sky decide they would send an engineer today - there goes my bench time I thought!!
New dish, bracket - Q Box + setup, less than an hour.
Bench time!! Whoooo Hoooooo!!
Death by image I'm afraid. Picture says it all!!
Pic 1
Firstly - yesterday's work. The colouring of the inner cabin area, two tone. The lighter grey represents the plastic covered padding which may have helped with sound proofing!! There again - it may not!!!!
Pic 2/3/4
My seats, back and front. Etch harness' added. Lesson learned from that. Lap straps would have been better attaching prior to adding the back and seat pans!!!. Fiddly little blighters!!! Only have to fit some delicate hand holds which fit over the seat retains the shoulder harness in place.

Cockpit area with IP installed, jump seat aka Pilots navigation bag holder!!
Even painted the fire extinguisher and Pee Tube!! Note electronics cabinet empty!
Pic 6.
Small refinement in the working area of the King in the shape of T transducer raise/lower T Handle painted red. Also - sonar foot brake painted and dirtied!
Pic 7
Electronics cabinet now has 'black boxes'!!
Pic 8
Troop seat assembled, painted and suitably dirtied to represent the myriad of boots clambering over them to get from front to back and visa versa!! I'm a little bit stumped at how to add definition to the troop seats to show the indentation in the fabric material. Need to research that before they are installed.
Well, 'that's all folks', hope you're not suffering from picture overload.
Comments and criticisms all welcome. Tis the only way to improve!!
Thanks again for looking in.
