The seat was a 2 stage process. First I made a pair of ply formers and mounted them in a frame Then I glued in 3 pieces of 2" foam and sanded them to the formers Then I glassed the sanded surface then I removed it from the frame and turned it over, resetting it so that the foam was about 3/8" below the former (yes the profile was reversible) I then sanded it to the formers and glassed it. The result is a 3/8" sandwich. I am going to reinforce it with flox and further layers of glass where it rests on the bearers to stop the foam collapsing with my weight.
My company website is the same as my domain name, if you want to see more buildings. I am not trying to sell in the USA, so there is no marketing benefit in this for me.

How did you shape the blue foam for the seats on your bird? Was it sanded to shape or did you heat and bend? Or what? For the rest of the guys on the net, they should take a look at the craftsmanship you put into your buildings, it's reflected too in your airplane.
