Nil desperandum Chris, I'm sure you'll put it in order!!
HI Doug thanks for your kind thoughts but i know when im beaten so im just goin to glue the I/P 's in place an see if i can get this build movin as its been over two months now an hardly anything done normally i would have had it at least half built by now so im pushin on comments an critisum welcomeNil desperandum Chris, I'm sure you'll put it in order!!
HI Jakko many thanks for your ideas but no the coloured acetate is glued on the I/P's back but dont know if i can scribe a line in that acetate as it very hard materieral an its may not be seen when fitted in ayway as ive still got to paint all them white an black buttons yetRather than try to paint lines on the screens, what might work is to scribe them with a needle. Are the red and green painted on? And if so, is the paint on the front or on the rear? Because if it’s on the front, then scribing lines with a needle will give you pale lines that should show up more brightly when the light behind the screens is on.
If you want darker lines, you could scribe them as well, then put some black paint into them and wipe that off before it dries. Some paint will stay behind in the scribed line and show up darker when you turn on the light.
Perhaps test this first on some spare material, though
That’s also why I suggested trying on some spare material firstdont know if i can scribe a line in that acetate as it very hard materieral
YES Jakko i take your point but i think i may try an paint a very thin white line on that big screen an then see what that looks like but will use a very fine ended paint brush an Bri that cockpit pic above is james cockpit from his tomcat not mine i cant do it that good im afraidThat’s also why I suggested trying on some spare material first
HI Jakko well i 'll rather not chance it at the moment as my laptop is full of junk an cant get rid of over 600 cookies an such so i will only post a pic when i deem its worth it as several times now it wont upload pics as it says no storeage space left but ive found that if i leave it a while then laptop will upload a couple of pics now an then an yes i should know how to sort out my probs on my laptop but i dont im afraid im completey computer illitrateIt’s OK to show photos of things that didn’t go as intended If only to remind people that not everything always goes perfectly.
THANKS Scottie i just wish it had come out better as it was a terrible fit an i have not fitted in the bang seats yet as they also are a bad fit an the instruckions showin how this all goes togeather are rubbish as it dont show an afterfit pics an i fitted several pics as there are the cockpit sides added in the last picsChris,
Great work on the office mate the displays look good to me.
MANY THANKS Jakko for your nice undeservaldy comments as i was hopein the decals would fit in the screens to dampen the lights down a bit more but when i put them in water they all just splintered an i treid to useing a very fine tipped hairy stick to try an paint on the vid screen but not very good as shakes hit bad so i quit while i was ahead Aaaarrrccchhhhh im not used to failure like thisLooks good to me, it’s sure to make an impression when you switch it on.
