Thread owner
an first thing now its been srayed grey is to fit in the light green window glazein an its that colour to break down the suns glare off the sea so it dont dazzel the crew members an also at the back ive fitted a two pin eletric plug to give power to the 2MM led's ive fitted inside IMG_6127.JPG f
 
Thread owner

Nice progress Chris........a Fabric shop is a good source for mesh material........they use it for bridal veils all the time. I bought some a while back (its very cheap) to use as camo netting in 1-87 scale. Rick H.

Another great update Chris, that radar is something else. Well done.
Has Jen realised you've nicked a stocking yet ! It will be worse than any jab when she finds out !!
 
That's why I suggested the Fabric Shop..........if she didn't approve your knicking her stocking, you might not be around to see this project completed......Hell hath no fury......etc. :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out: Rick H.
