The seat is the supplied part with the middle part chopped out
CAREFULLY, and then thin wire added to simulate the open
weave of the wicker construction. Almost put me in a mental
institution doing it, but the reuslt is not too bad.

Dave,
Man do I know what you mean having gone through my own wicker waterloo. Great technique on your wicker seat too,if I get brave enough I'll try that one sometime soon.

A picture of the optional Wind Generator, which I
believe, was used to, automatically, change the
plates in the camera, when the Observer was
otherwise detained.

A few pics of the now complete (minus rigging) undercarriage.
All dirtied up as I go along, but not too much.

Wow Dave.  What a beauty!

Any chance of posting what you used for the mud splatter effect and how it was applied?

Thanks

Jim
Woof!
