Sonny , I thought you were kidding smile.gif http://www.rogerdodger.net/ , I would have thought it would be far easier using a simple wood framing and card for the curves and covering - this would also make it easy to dismantle and modulate .

Cardboard huh,,How many packets of cornies make a cockpit?

Used to make radio control planes out of corrigated cardboard - agree it may be a suitable medium.
