Smile Basketcase Jenny

While doing this boring nailing job, my mind has been wandering forward to this coming winter and the build of the JN4D, bastketcase Jenny.
My plan is to partially cover it with worn and tattered fabric, that has been opened in many places to rob it of parts.The fabric job does not have to be that good, as I plan to screw it up anyway.I managed to pick up some nice antique linen looking stuff, called Super Coverite.It calls for shrinking the stuff with an iron but I cant see the use of investing in a lot of equipment for a job that I want to screw up anyway.If it sags and looks bad so much the better.I think that I will paint it in old faded military colors and use the antique color for patches.
I am really looking forward to having fun with this and at least it keeps my mind going during a mind numbing nailing process.Cheers! John.
