    Damn, your work is amazing.

    Especially this shot:

    1 question/idea: Have you tried to make a cone mold, and hammer the mesh into the mold? I don't know if that could work, but if it's working you won't have a cutting line in the mesh.

    Thanks ferry

    That method might work, but there is the possibility of distorting the mesh when shaping it. I guess it would depend on the steepness of the cone, and the hardness of the mesh. This stuff was quite flexible so it might work.

    Okay, then i will might give it a try
    Since i have to make a grill, and flat mesh doesn't look as great as mesh which is bent in the shape of it. I've got AC ryan hexx mesh, quite flexible as well.

    So I took a little break from the side panel detailing to work on the landing bay a bit more. I need to
    secure it down to the case somehow, so I came up with a simple frame that will bolt to the case,
    and the landing bay will bolt to that. Here's what I got so far:

    Bent two pieces of aluminum flat bar.


    Bent them so they follow the contour of the landing bay's ceiling.


    Left enough length at the ends to extend down into the case at the sides.


    Positioned them so they pick up existing holes in the case frame that are already countersunk.


    Here's a shot of the test fit, looking in from the back. If this case does any racing, I got SAE certified roll bars installed! lol


    Once I get the roll bars fastened to the case, I can drill holes through the top of the landing bay,
    then conceal them with some stealthy armor panel covers.

    This is a partial inventory as I dont have all the parts yet, but this will go inside the case once assembled.

    Well, I'm still alive, and slowly getting back to working on this thing. What with the cold rainy weather and the whole fam-damily being sick all week, I've been hard pressed to get into the garage at all.
    I did manage to bring some panels into the house so I could apply more detail pieces in between coughing fits, so all was not totally lost I guess. lol I'll try to get some pics posted later.

    In the mean time, here's another teaser shot. Basically, all the parts in the first teaser assembled (and no, its not a dual res! lol).

    Ok here's what I got to show ya. While I was laid up in the house, I managed to get some details
    put on the side panels. Of course my son had to lend me a helping hand. He turned out to be a pretty good sander!







    I got both side panels detailed, as well as the front panel. Once I get a coat of primer on them I will
    take some more shots. (primer always makes things look so much better!)

    Here is the unit installed in the case. Actually, this thing won't even be seen once the case is finished!
