Is going to fiberglassed yet, but still undecided on the paint scheme. I have a master painter helping me with that one! |

Just put some grout in between the foam, lay a shower mat down and she'll be all set! For real though, this project is turning out sweet. |

Got 1/4 of the wing done today, took me 3 hours of fitting and trimming though. |

One of the techniques that we used to make aerospace trade show models was to use "canned insulation foam" from a home improvement store to fill the cavities between formers and stringers. All that was left to do was take a "sure form" rasp and remove any foam that bulged over the tops and then 80 grit paper on a sanding stick to smooth it further before laying up with resin and glass cloth. In the "biz" time is money and this technique saved hours of time. |

Fiberglass after the foam inserts are done. This is going to be an outdoor display! |

Started on the foam inserts tonight, but I have a bad headache, so packed it in early. |

All total so far weighs in at just under 9 lbs. Forgot to put the yardstick in the picture, I will take another pic with it. |

Cool. What is the weight of it at the moment? You should put something in the picture for size comparison. |
