Thanks, evr'ybody!
Construction moves forward- and masking begins! We make some things, and hope we're not making things up- right, Hauptmann Hannah?

Chuck, the flame dampers look amazing! Great work- the straps and fasteners are particularly effective. The brass machine guns are so much sharper than the plastic.

My thanks, gentlemen!

A brief update, as I'm breaking, for me, new ground. My pressing off the kit canopy had some serious flaws, so I've decided to make a vacuform- using a female mold! We can trust Hauptmann Hannah to lead us down this perilous path, can't we?

Are you going to use the second piece of silicone to vacform a canopy?

Thanks, Aeroscalers! Here's one that's close to home- with a spotlight on Mal's Miracle masks. They really are quite awesome!

Nothing makes you feel like you're making progress like adding the insignia and markings, right, Fritzi?

Yes my new logo (Millie Mask) is far better than the old one and if Millie can do it anyone can

Nice update Chuck!

You like the shape of the CMK canopy better: Could you be more specific? I notice the windshield seems narrower or taller than the kit's plastic. Original kit frames are much thicker too than actual, but I used to think the kit canopy was not that bad overall...

Keep up the good work!

Gaston
