Installing the Skin

Been busy over the past few weeks applying the tissue to the frame. Has been a bit of a challenge with several sections that had to be redone. Also found an error in the underbelly section that needed to be corrected as some of the parts did not align properly and was fairly tricky to correct.

Once I finished gluing the tissue to the frame with "LePage" stick glue I sprayed the model with a light mist of water. When the tissue dried it stretched and became much more rigid.
