Building a Base

[tennyson]

And my little baby is all pulled apart again.

I'm looking at buying a house in the next few weeks, so I had to pull it all apart for the removal.

The problem was, the width of the base was 8 foot, 2 inches and the garage door is only 7 foot 11 inches wide.......Houston, we have a problem!

It feels like one step forward, 3 steps back.

Oh, well, the next place will be mine, so I won't need to worry about blacking out the neighbourhood every time I fire up the sim.....hmm, hang on, that might still be a problem, but you know what I mean.


Here's a little time-lapse of her coming down...

What Goes Up...

The FDS shell is an investment!!!
Can even go through a window! 

Plan B would have been more costly!!

Hahaha, you are right, Jack.

The only sad part is the moving and the re-installing.

Once it is all put back together again and I can start putting all the pieces back in it, I'll be a happy man.

Meanwhile, I got a good test set-up that I'm keeping my hours up on.

it is done. wheels are next tomorrow. I made 5 sections: front for MIP and related bits, two equal aft sections for seats and pedestal, 2 for left and right for nose section 'foot' rests.

What I am not just sure of is how far into the nose the front piece goes at exactly 1.56m width flash with the MIP. I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Thanks for the advise to use 2.44m x 2.44m shape. Made the construction much easier.
