Hull Plating and Captain's Seat

Using quarter inch laminated MDF sheets, the side and front walls as well as top were cut and secured to the frame as hull plating. Original idea was to paint the ship red like as in the Little Einstein's red rocketship. But as an intermediate step, I wanted to see what it will look like with white walls because that's what I had available. Eventually, maybe next year, I'd like to paint it some kind of metallic silver color.


For the captain's seat, I took an unused child carseat from the garage and added a box support to hold it up.

Using some scrap 2 by 4 lumber, I constructed a rectangular box with cardboard circle as a steering wheel. This is just to see how to place the seats. There will be a pilot seat on the left side and a captain's seat on the right side of the cockpit.
