Afternoon All
Couple of areas of progress to report.
I've tweaked the bow behind the musetto, bonded the saxboard 'bridge' and also the anchor hatch. In two minds whether to try to create a new musetto, I plan a few other parts that will need chroming, we'll see.
Also repositioned the ESCs to get them out of the way, added a surface mount XT60 socket to avoid trailing wires.
Main work has been with the dashboard and surround. This is the pair of panels that sit to the left and right of the dash, soaked and being curved around a former.
And clamped into place.
Trimmed and finished with a small piece of mahogany to hide the ply fully.
Filled in the two areas forward of the dash with some spare ply, helps me with maintaining the dash curve as I need it to be self supporting, I need to have the dash removable in case of electrical issues, so not a stressed part of the structure.
The dash is located firmly at three points (left, right and centre), so I've added a couple of small magnets to the back of the dash, and a metal plate on the bulkhead...

Some masking ready for the dash top / binnacle:
Glued and clamped:
And the result, all elements fixed in place, here with no dash:
Here with the dash held by the magnets:
And finally the mahogany dash:
