Here we are getting ready to shrink wrap the scale model. The hull frame is suspended from the rafters and able to rotate freely around the nose and tail centers. We stapled one edge of the shrink warp to a longitudinal rib. Sam is adjusting the shrink wrap into place.
Shrink wrap done. Sam is holding "The Flamethrower", that is, the propane-fired heat gun he used to shrink the plastic to the hull frame.
