Building a 737 shell and base... which material is better ?

[jnr641802]

Hello Nick as you requested this is my first attempt at posting images here so anything can happen....

The frame was temporarily clad in cardboard sheet as a template for the hardboard and is surprisingly strong more than able to take multi projectors etc.

I too am awaiting delivery this coming week of an mcp,efis ,radios so I will remake the mip and the unscaled and wrongly positioned screens but it was fun using the sim / repositioned mcp etc while building which is in my opinion important to keep the interest going,in fact I might have been happy for quite a while flying without the hardware(mcp efis etc) as it is still totally immersive.

I hope the pictures are of some small use but I suspect probably not...
