Its been a couple of weeks and here is my latest progress. I have been working on the ear pieces. I knew things would slow down considerably when I reached these detail parts. Constantly checking and rechecking the reference photos has proved invaluable as well as TDH members help and advice. The photos show the construction of the left earpiece out of styrene which I heat formed to obtain the shape. Later I will post a template for the U-shaped piece in order to form the part correctly.

Thanks Alan for the positioning info on the ear pieces! The last photos show the mounting of the left earpiece and initial coat of primer. Plenty to fill and sand yet. Finally, their is the lower section of the right earpiece which I completed today and applied the first coat of primer.

[QUOTE="SD68, post: 81776, member: 1333"] Its been a couple of weeks and here is my latest progress. I have been working on the ear pieces. I knew things would slow down considerably when I reached these detail parts. Constantly checking and rechecking the reference photos has proved invaluable as well as TDH members help and advice. The photos show the construction of the left earpiece out of styrene which I heat formed to obtain the shape. Later I will post a template for the U-shaped piece in order to form the part correctly. Thanks Alan for the positioning info on the ear pieces!:) The last photos show the mounting of the left earpiece and initial coat of primer. Plenty to fill and sand yet. Finally, their is the lower section of the right earpiece which I completed today and applied the first coat of primer.
