Been a while since I last checked in but I am glad I did, you have done an amazing job with the cockpit interior, the wood colours are excellent and your attention to detail is incredible, this is turning into a real gem.

Wow, this is a brilliant cockpit, very nicely done! I'll keep this beauty in mind when it comes to my Nieuport. (Something in the back of my head whispers that it's time to do another Nieuport...) I especially like your work on the seat including the spare HGW belts. That's a real eyecatcher. But the interior rigging is just awesome as well!

Hi Lance

Just looked in - taking a break from decorating and needing a forum fix  ;) Looks like you've given yet another one the old magic Lance touch - that cockpit is looking superb. I'm with Des on those wood tones.

Looking forwards to more in coming days, keep up that momentum

Spectacular work on the innards, Lance.  I especially like the way you reworked the side panels.  Awesome!
Cheers,

The super- detailed cockpit is superb Lance! The woodgrain looks very convincing! Great work and keep it up!

    Many Thanks All, for your complimentary comments, it means a lot to hear encouragement from your Forum mates and I very much appreciate hearing from you!
    I'm afraid any productive time available today was spent cleaning up the property and the driveway after an early snow event; we've actually been cursed with two pretty significant snow storms in the past week and I'm already tired of the winter drudgery :( >:(  Like Tug I'm also involved in household chores, for some reason it's what I like to refer to as a "Handyman Week", we've had two items fail so far this week and it's only Monday! As a result my model activities are replaced by adventures in amateur plumbing and heating repair, gotta just love it! I'll try to finish off the cowling mods and the cockpit tomorrow and get a few photos posted as well.
Cheers,
Lance
