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

    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...

    regards jim

    Nice setup Jim,
    youre way of working with a frame and carton is good way to get nice "dimensions" fast.

    maby you like these pictures from Irving (and the rest of this very nice site)

    When once you have tasted flight,
    you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward
