Tony Bennett Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 well i am stuck on the varsity at the moment as i need to raise the funds for all the electrics needed. so as to not waste time i started a new design. 80" span, 90% Depron.

Colin Leighfield Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That's a good one Tony. Had quite an interesting record, including the early war years. Slow and stately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Bennett Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 while waiting the electrics for the varsity i decided to print off the fuselage parts. i need to cut 2 cores for the fuselage, one needs to be slightly different to the other as i am aiming to have the cabins fitted out in this model. there are three cabins and a promenade to sort.

Tony Bennett Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Last night after work i sat down and spent an hour or so cutting out the first of the fuselage parts needed. I am using two 3mm depron cores and will construct the two halves separately on a flat surface. then once fully sheeted i can join the two halves together to make up the complete fuselage. i am also looking at fitting the cabins out with some chairs and passengers. more to follow.

Tony Bennett Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 27 seats under construction. Floors to fit next and then the seats can go in. three one side of the aisle and six on the other. any one know what colour the seats and interior walls/floor would be.

Colin Leighfield Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Tony, if you google it there are a lot of photos and some cut away sections showing interiors and some idea of colours. I've tried to put some into an album to copy onto here but for some reason I can' get the downloads to work tonight. Have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 i have googled Colin, but all i can find are black and white pictures. need some thing in colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Tony, look again. If you keep scrolling the pictures across there are some original sectioned pictures showing interior colour and some detail. Red wouldn't be right.

Colin Leighfield Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 That looks excellent, I don't think I've seen the Ensign modelled before. It should be a stately flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 I am hoping it will be a nice slow gentle flier. with a little bit more scale than i normally do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Leighfield Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Are you going to use your normal brown paper covering for this one? I've still got to have a go at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
