Another step forward.
Well today I will fit the roof trusses on to make sure everything lines up ,then remove it and take off the L/H main hangar sidewall and actually begin furnishing the interior.I will start along the backwall while it is still easily accessible .Everything of course will have to be subordinate to Jenny ,the main subject matter.This will be the most tricky aspect of this build.What to leave in and what to leave out.I need just enough to keep it interesting and not overwhelm the main subject.A lot of my original ideas will change now that I have both an inside and outside enviroment to work with.When viewed from the front there will be no doubt what the main subject matter is ,Jenny and the WW1 pilots.The other three sides will be supporting eye candy.The main hangar doors act as a nice screen to everything else going on.I think that they will act as a nice way to direct the eye of the viewer to the main storyline without too much distraction.This is getting exciting!!!!!!!!!

Well the roof trusses check out OK,and have been removed again.The L/H side wall has also now been removed and I have easy access to the backwall.This will be a great time to finalize the floorplan,finish the furniture and Jenny and then replace the side wall and roof and finish the exterior.Well thats the plan anyway.

Thanks Ross.It should be fun and thank you for all your help in getting me started in the beginning,posting my pictures and for all the encouragement to keep things going.It looks like I am going to be busy for a long time to come.I still have a lot left to do to complete my commitment to the CAM (probably 6 to 12 months) but at least it gives me lots of time to begin the research for the RAFM piece.
I plan to keep this thread going or maybe start a new one on the RAFM build.What do you think? Cheers! John.
