Image Comments plasticbuddha 14-Aug-07 22:03 plasticbuddha 14-Aug-07 22:12 Trying to replicate the bezel around each instrumnet face. I might go with Evergreen tubing. After which, I will apply a sheet of clear lexan onto the back. Then the instrument faces printed on glossy paper. Creosotewind 15-Aug-07 10:59 A good and easy way to make the bezel is to take copper wire or solder and wrap it around a tube of the correct diameter. Make several tight wraps and then cut one side with a blade. Slip them off the tube and voila, bezels. I have a lot of photos of both interior and exterior shots of Stearmans, if you are interested. Jim plasticbuddha 15-Aug-07 16:14 Ah, thank you Creosotewind!:) I believe I also read that technique in an article on SFA. One could also use rolled up paper too. I did go with your suggestion although I used soft solder wire. I would love to see your reference photos! Hey, James..just a suggestion but how about a general photo reference section so that we can all upload reference pictures to share with our members? Might save time for those who like to add details or accurate colour schemes? Please sign in to comment on this image.
