Hello Guys, thanks!

leleliz, thanks very much for all the kind words.

nukke, thanks :). I think I'll wait to post the pics of the other rooms until they are closer to completion (they're all in various stages of progress and on hold until Hula Sue's is 'finished').

Zog, thanks, that's certainly how I feel about all the great work going on at this site. Sure is good company to be in :)

Here's a picture of the airplane fuselage under construction.
The 'struts' will be covered in metal and carefully 'damaged'.
The cabin walls will soon be covered/painted.
There will be metal trim to cover seams (like the one above the window) and carpeting on the floor (like the swatch below the seat) and curtains fastened to both sides of the window.
The roll of metal on the lower left of the picture will be riveted and then 'damaged/twisted/torn' and used to cover the exposed 'exterior' outer edge of the plane's fuselage that sticks out near the carved beam on the right.
The skeleton will be dressed in Hawaiian tourist garb and seat-belted in.
Lots of other small details to add and lots of work still to do but it's coming together.
Thanks again. More pictures very soon. I promise. :)
