As everyone has at one time or another shared their workshop or home with our fellow VA members, thought I'd allow all to see my (truly) humble abode which consists of my little corner used as a workshop in our equally little one-room apartment. Considering my limitations on tools, accessories, and space to work, one can appreciate the old adage "Wherever there's a will, there's a way" to build models.

Making the compass that will be the center piece of the instrument panel. Memo to all: its one of those "wish I knew then moments" but Mr. John Brantley who makes custom decals for us modelers will also gladly make custom decals for instruments for any particular aircraft as well.

Each instrument has its own bezel. I used the rings purchased from an arts and crafts store.

Yep Used a magnifying glass to get the dials just right.

At first, I tried to simply cut out the instruments from those published online. Discovered they were all fuzzy and out of focus.
