Default RE: Sig 1/3 scale Spacewalker

Here are some pics of the elevator. For anyone interested in the process, it goes like this:

1 Apply Stix-it or Poly Tack to the entire framework. Let dry.
2 Cut an ample peice of Polyester cloth.
3 Iron down the horizontial perimeterof the piece being carefull to not introduce wrinkles. Use low heat to prevent the adhesive from bubbling.
4 Flip the piece and trim the cloth to with 1/4" of the piece.
5 Seal down the overlap to the edges with the iron.
6 Coat the edge with adhesive and let dry.
7 Cover the other side of the piece like in steps 2 and 3.
8 Repeat steps 4 and 5 on the newly covered side.
9 Shrink the fabric with a heat gun being carefull not to over heat and cause bubbles. Apply the sealer coats. I used nitrate dope here but WB Polycan be used.
