BackPlate

[cyberpyrot]

After no less then 5 failed attempts at $65 for each sheet of aluminum one sheet needed for the back plate a friend of mine sent me an ABS back plate to look at. I really feel for sculptures looking at a picture and translating that into a 3d form is hard unless you can physically touch something it near impossible to get it right. well there is still a little work needing to be done I have to trim one side a bit where the shoulder is and finish the other harness hole but I just about have it done. the harness holes is on the low side compared to the ABS but those how it is on Wizard of Flight's templates and I wanted to go with the higher up one I could always lower it if I need to. Here is the picture
