No, we don't call them dumpsters here in Oz but I know what you mean Scott ... just plain rubbish bins, or how about hiring a "skip"? There certainly are lots of rejects in the learning process but I wouldn't want them spread around the place

Cam, when you're closer to needing your pilot I should be at a stage to look at a gentex helmetted guy for you. If you're just starting your build that will give me some breathing space There are one or two heads and uniforms that are on my priority list right now but that wouldn't be a problem a little further down the track and to put him into a pair of white overalls.

Rich, love your tat and what a great back seat driver (pilot) she would make I'd love to make a Betty Boop, once again, let me get my immediate list ticked off then I can work on Miss Boop. She has a singlet on in your pic and having bare arms mightn't look so good with the raw body showing. I thought maybe a long sleeve skin tight shirt with the singlet top over it, that way you still get the full bend of the arms. If we moulded bent elbows as in the salute, it does restrict the poses you can put her in. Anyway, something for you to think about in the meantime.

The same goes for doing your head as the pilot - until we've done a number of well known or famous aviators/actors/personalities I don't want to take on personal heads, they are just too time consuming but later on as time permits that's certainly on the cards.

Just scroll back up this page a little and you'll find my post on cost.

My pattern making is coming along, no pics as yet. I've been helping Richard make the 2nd part of the P-47 fuse mould. It's a practice one before he launches into the moulding of the big Boomerang to try out new techniques and ideas. We've got to have planes for our pilots too Hopefully by the end of the weekend I'll have Glen Curtiss somewhat dressed. He should look quite dapper

cheers
