Charlie,
Outstanding project my friend. Congratulations for stepping into the world of vac building. An excellent choice for a first time vacuform too. Please feel free to post additional photos of the build if you'd like.

Thanks guys for the encourgment. The Fokker took about two weeks. Mr Koster's vac's are really sharp. I met him at the nationals in St.Louis I believe it was 1991 and bought this from him then.

Charlie,
I've never built a "Vac" but this looks like the way to do it, very nice! The lozenge looks very faded, a great effect. What did you use?
Cheers,
Lance

Outstanding, Charlie. She's absolutely gorgeous. I just started a Koster vac, myself, and for you to have finished her so nicely in two weeks is phenomenal. Brilliant.
Cheers,
Bud
