Fixing the wing pieces

Sanded, primed and assembled for painting




First coat of plaster and PVA


Removing the fabric proved difficult on the pieces that were covered with the textured fabric as much of the fibres were left stuck in the blue foam. Due to the sloppy consistency of the plaster and PVA mix, each foam piece then required several coatings and sanding back. Due to the delicate consistency of plaster, each section had to be sanded by hand as a power sander would have been far too vigorous. Each section was then primed twice to help provide a plastic, less porous surface for me to paint onto.
