Amazing work Peter.
Thanks Jens Anfree for your response and compliments.YES! I love everything!!!
I also love the old-school point to point electronics and etched pcb's!
I still do that from time to time with some of my hope projects for fun, although most of my electronics I design and build are surface mount stuff but it'll never look as good as a hand drawn pcb with a wire loom!
One question though. The bridge control panel. Is it a real one you've refurbished or is it a replica?
Whichever it is it looks stunning and very cool - and accurate!!!
Now that is a great compliment. Thank you very much Jens Andree.Fantastic work!
You're not an architectural modeller by trade by any chance?
You're certainly more than qualified!
I had already covered some foam with water-based wood putty, which attached itself to to the foam quite well, but seemed a bit fragile. As suggested, I added water to PVA glue (50-50) and applied two coats to the putty. The first coat soaked into the putty with a slight glaze. The second coat was definitely a glazing coat. It is no longer fragile....Ordinary PVA, or a bit watered down PVA, is a great and cheap sealer for foam. If you want a specific texture you can use air drying clay like DAS or similar.
