That's a pretty big wrap Brad, but I think we're on the same page after reading the thread you started. As I've mentioned before, this whole pilot thing started from the needs of a modeller who couldn't find what he was after himself for decades. It's turned into an enormous amount of pleasure for us both by combining our different skills. The challenge to produce something to a high standard makes me do things that I didn't think I was previously capable of and that's a buzz when it comes together.

We're cutting the boots today and having seen the first trial one have added a zipper in the front so it should look better. We're also cutting a glove with the flare so will see if it fits properly then I can add some more detail like the zipper and stitching before recutting them both. The photo I've attached has a 1/6 American Mae West and 1/6 oxygen mask just to show these accessories on the 1/5 scale pilot. Don't know whether they'd be workable but I'm working on a scale British Mae West at the moment and will keep you posted

cheers
