Is that Balsa you are using? It's starting to take shape now matt

Don't know about using the dinning room table, you could use the flight deck for serving meals on, it's big enough.

yes balsa wood i am useing.5mm for hull frames 3mm for flight deck and 2.5mm for hull plating.

dineing table no thats just tempory fix.we dont use it anyway.yes the flight deck is big

My Vic's flight deck is is half the width of that monster. The day's before the Angle Deck was ever thought of.

Should have some pictures of Vic later tonight.
