| I apologize for the volume of photos in the build. It's tedious but I thought I'd share whatever ideas I come up with during the build process. My reference photos show that the seat is light gauge steel; four sheets that were formed and then riveted together. The edges are rolled around a rod. I should have used solder wire to replicate that but I decided to try with balsa wood. Glued a strip of 1/32 x 1/16 along the edge. I had to soak the wood with water to get it to soften. I might try Windex with ammonia next. |

| No need to apologize! It's always fascinating to see other modellers builds. Keep up the good work. |

| Thank you both!! :) This is very much a learning and experimenting experience for me (technique-wise) and I hope it might save someone some headaches with their project. As always, I am more than happy to share what little I know. A big "Thank You" to James for this wonderful site!!! |
