Hi Steff, that will be a great Easter over at Wanaka. Take your woollies with you though, especially coming from your part of the world. I lived down that way for a few months - many years ago, and it's a beautiful place but the Warbirds will be the high light I'm sure. I look forward to some pics of your Zero when you get back too.

What size is the Hawker Fury II you and your friend are building? And you have time for planes with your 2 daughters and the baby on the way? Good luck with your search for photos of your pilot, if you can't find photos of 'Tony' Paxton then at least no-one can argue with what he looks like

We've just made the 1/5 female body mould. I eventually got onto some foam which is actually yellow but the same density as the blue foam, just a different manufacturer. I have made a fairly voluptuous body, curvy, we'll call it The first side was moulded last night and the second half has just been finished tonight so hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to extract the first body from it. That will give Katherine a body to work with to make the clothing while I get on with the first head of Milla. I'll be doing a 1/3 female body soon too. I've modelled her on a 5'10" person which is tall for a female. I didn't want her to look too small in a cockpit but also wanted it a little shorter than the male pilots. I think it will work.

cheers
Patti
