I'll tell you what, it's amazing what's inside this blue foam if you rub it hard enough, ohh Matron😂

Rivet spacing

Hi,
I've been searching for ages for something with loads of equally spaced holes in it to aid rivet spacing on my K7.
I was looking around a sewing department today & found this.
It's 12" long & all the holes are 1/4 apart.
Apart from the colour it's perfect 👍

Steering wheel

Scratch built, 103mm diameter.
Outer wheel made from milliput & spokes made from plastic sheet.
Formed the milliput between some blue foam rings.

I found this 1/4 scale Winston/Hank head in a local model shop for £3.50.
Needless to say I glued the front & back together &reinforced inside the head with plasticard. When set I chopped his head off & Dremel'd off the headphones & head strap. I've just filled the resultant gaps & strengthened around the chin & neck area with Milliput. Best leave it until tomorrow to harden up, I may just need to Milliput inside the hair line as I'm guessing I'll have to grind his hair away to fit his head in a helmet.

I found a 1/6 scale pilot on Thingiverse, a little bit of jiggers-pokery later & here is a low resolution head being printed at 1/4.2 scale.
It's not looking too shabby.
Think I'll do a high resolution version next weekend👍
