Scale model 3

 

2 different kinds of canvas received for strength test and production of the third scale model

 

After assessment we have chosen one type of canvas.

 We only have a small piece of the right canvas so all 30 pieces have to be put on with precision

 

Ready to cut

 

The cutting is in progress while all calculated measures are checked to be within limits

 

Its a hard job.....

 

The resuls of many hours of cutting and drinking beers

 

The gluing has started without a mask...???...

 

The 3 canopies are glued together. Only the front arc is missing to give the final shape

 

The construction is complete. The front arc is not in scale. We did not have a material flexible enough

 

The final result with the front arc in right scale
